“The greatest fear of any political prisoner is being forgotten. Family and friends play a vital role in keeping hope alive.” On June 8, 2021, Berta Valle’s husband, Félix Maradiaga, a Nicaraguan democracy leader, was arbitrarily arrested by Daniel Ortega’s regime in Nicaragua. Maradiaga endured 611 days of incarceration under extremely inhumane conditions before being sent into exile on February 9, 2023, alongside 221 other former political prisoners. During this time, World Movement’s Steering Committee member Berta Valle played a crucial role in advocating for the release of her husband and other political prisoners in Nicaragua. Berta Valle and Félix Maradiaga, collaborated with other families of political prisoners and legal experts to produce “Pathway to Freedom: A Handbook for the Liberation of Political Prisoners” to support others in similar situations.
