<p>On 28 June, the Prime Minister's Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief
and Chair of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance, Fiona Bruce MP,
called for the immediate and unconditional release of Bishop Alvarez and all others
wrongly deprived of their freedom in Nicaragua, naming Bishop Álvarez as a prisoner
of conscience. The UK continues to call for the release of Bishop Álvarez and all
political prisoners in Nicaragua, including in conversations with the Nicaraguan authorities
in Managua. The increasing suppression of political rights and the detention and expulsion
of opposition politicians, activists and members of the clergy are further evidence
of the serious democratic crisis in Nicaragua.</p>
