The greatest threat to the Ortega regime in Nicaragua? Ideas. And that’s how Félix Maradiaga, Nicaraguan political activist, ended up in solitary confinement, in darkness, for months on end, with little food, little water and suffering interrogations without end. And his dearest wish, now, safe in the US? To be guided not by hate or resentment but by love, to create a different future for not only his grandchildren but those of his torturers. Welcome to the United States, Mr. Maradiaga. You elevate us all.
