U.S. President Donald J. Biden and Iranian businessman Siamak Namazi reunited after the release of seven new criminal detainees

The announcement of the mass releases of Americans in Venezuela and Iran was announced at the same time, though one American official said the timing was coincidental. The freeing of seven Americans by Mr. Biden, who had been held in Venezuela for over a year, was part of an effort to speed up such returns, which have drawn some criticism.

At the same time, Iran on Saturday released Siamak Namazi, a 51-year-old dual-national Iranian American businessman who had been jailed since 2015, on a temporary furlough and lifted the travel ban on his father, Baquer Namazi, an 85-year-old former official for the United Nations, according to the family’s lawyer.

At a time when tensions are high in the world, the releases come at a time when Americans are more cautious about traveling abroad. After the United States criticized the actions of Putin, the basketball player remained imprisoned in Russia for bringing hashish oil into the country.

The Nicaraguan government released more than 200 political prisoners, many of whom arrived in the United States on Thursday, according to officials, following years of repression by the country’s President Daniel Ortega.

The deportees who have been found guilty of treason are banned from running for public office and from competing in elections.

The opportunity to travel to the United States was made available by the Nicaragua government, according to Price. “We agreed that we would of course receive them.”

Among the released prisoners is one American, according to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who welcomed their move, calling it a product of American diplomacy.

Among those who were held included political and business leaders, journalists, civil society representatives, and students.

According to Price, the individuals who were granted humanitarian parole will be allowed to stay in the US and apply for asylum if they want, for two years.

He said that they had to sign some documents stating that they would be leaving the country with no further explanation. “On one side what happened is shocking, but on the other, I’m overwhelmed by this moment, the opportunity to hug our family. Personally, I haven’t seen my daughter in more than three years.

Chamorro, who has been in jail since June 2021, added: “We didn’t know where we were going. When the buses turned to the right at the Air Force station we realized that we were going to fly out of the country, but still didn’t know where… until eventually they told us.”

“Narcos” in Central America, a “non-free” part of the Cuban diaspora, and the U.S. immigration laws

He stated that there is a very active and engaged Nicaraguan diaspora population in the U.S. who they are confident will welcome the individuals to the United States.

“In part we are happy, we are celebrating, but on the other hand, they are not really free,” he said. The political prisoners cannot go back to their homes, they cannot have a political life and they cannot express themselves freely. That does not exist in Central America.

“The second target is directed at Washington: what type of legal measure will the United States take to simply deal with these people? He said it was extremely difficult to interact with a stateless person from a legal point of view.

There are no independent media within the country because many of them have been forced into exile.

The group of former prisoners’ families and friends were waiting at the Dulles International Airport to show their support for them.

A law was passed in the national assembly that seeks to strip 222 prisoners of their citizenship.

The 2021 Presidential Election: The Case for a Close-knit, Respectful Governing Body of Trusted Officials

The election in November 2021 was condemned as a sham by Washington, the European Union and international human rights organizations. Ortega governs with his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, and a tight-knit group of trusted figures in the police, the military and parliament.
