uin	HL9398
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2023 answer text <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> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 31/07/2023 14:01:05 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
