Londres. La defensora de derechos humanos, Bianca Jagger, imploró el martes al papa Francisco que “no abandone” a la Iglesia católica de Nicaragua, en especial al obispo retenido desde hace seis días por el Gobierno de Daniel Ortega, acusado de incitar a la violencia.

“Le ruego, le suplico, al Santo Padre que se pronuncie (..) que no abandone a sus obispos y a sus sacerdotes, en particular a monseñor Rolando Álvarez, cuya vida corre peligro”, dijo Jagger, una nicaragüense residente en Londres, en declaraciones a la AFP.
