Deportation of Former Political Prisoner Jeffrey Jarquín from the US to Nicaragua

Nicaragua · Latin America + Caribbean region

Former political prisoner Jeffrey Isaac Jarquín was deported to Nicaragua after the United States denied his request for asylum. Lawyers warn that this deportation sets a very negative precedent for exiled Nicaraguans in the US, as the principle of non-refoulement was allegedly not respected in this case.
