AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCustody Death in Nicaragua: Indigenous leader Brooklyn Rivera, a longtime Miskito activist and former lawmaker, has died in state custody in Managua at 73, after nearly three years detained since September 2023. Nicaragua’s Health Ministry says he deteriorated from a bacterial infection linked to COVID-19, but rights groups and UN experts reject the explanation, saying his collapse followed enforced disappearance and lack of independent medical oversight. International Pressure: The case drew renewed calls for release after the government acknowledged Rivera was in “critical condition” and released hospital images earlier this week; the U.S. also demanded his release and proof of his welfare. Human Rights Watchdog Response: The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights condemned his death, noting Rivera had been under forced disappearance and had precautionary and provisional measures tied to his case.
