United Press International MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Presi dent Anastasio Somoza has ordered the release of all political prisoners rounded up during the recent revolt against his government, removing another major stumbling block to the negotiations he has promised to conduct with the opposition through U.S. mediation. Hours after Somoza had his third meeting with U.S- mediator Wil liam Jorden, a roving ambassador from the Carter administration, presidential press secretary Rafael Cano announced Tuesday night the government has ordered the com petent authorities to free those per sons detained in connection with the recent events. Cano said those detained lor crimes such as armed attacks on police stations, terrorism, murder and damage to private property, would not be released. “The release orders will he car ried out immediately by the police authorities in their respective dis tricts,’ Cano said. Because of the curfew, it could not be ascertained immediately whether the political leaders had in fact returned home. The government-controlled na tional radio said Tuesday about 350 persons are still being detained throughout the country for political reasons. The political prisoners include six members of the Broad Opposition Front, a coalition of anti-Somoza political parties ranging from far-left to far-right, and includes business and labor federations. Although Somoza s acceptance of the U.S. proposal for negotiations did not specifically mention the Front, it is assumed the talks will have to he with the Front because it includes all principal opposition groups and has made an internal unity pact stipulating no single fac tion will negotiate individually with Somoza. One leading member of the Front, Jaime Chamorro, the com mercial manager of the opposition newspaper La Prensa and the brother of slain La Prensa publisher Pedro Joachim Chamorro, had in sisted in an interview Tuesday the release of jailed Front members was one of two minimum precondi tions’’ for any talks. The other was a relaxatjj press censorship so the oppT negotiators will be able to t e 4 public their side of the story If moment, Nicaragua is undery law and all independent radio] programs have been forced air.
