Prisoners released
Somoza is negotiating!
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. La Prensa has been able
lisli only once in two weeks!
censors continually reject
percent of all material subml
Meanwhile, the search coni
for more nations to participateji
negotiations.
Somoza has said he is a^
mediation offers similar to t
the United States, and po|
sources said he is believedi
seeking a rightist nation fr
his position, such as Chile or 9
vador. 1
The opposition, on the oil
hand, would like a liberaU
racy, such as the DominicanIfo]
lie or (Colombia, to participate
