Nicaragua frees 50 opposition prisoners under amnesty law

Managua (AFP) - Nicaragua on Monday released 50 opposition prisoners under a controversial new law granting amnesty to protesters and police involved in last year's deadly uprising against President Daniel Ortega.

The Interior Ministry announced the release of "50 people in compliance with the provisions of the Amnesty Law approved by the National Assembly" on Saturday.

Venezuela is on the skids but a lot of that is direct corruption, as one Venezuelan said "the Mafia is in power",

I'm looking at the news, where are so many Central Americans coming from?  A so-called "Northern Triangle", Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras... where are they apparently NOT coming from in droves? Nicaragua.

It sure makes one think.
