According to a note published by Office 505, Vilma Álvarez, 72 years old, arrived last Thursday at the Managua Courts to request Judge Nadia Tardencilla to allow her to visit her brother and give him some food.
The request appears consigned in the electronic system of causes of the capital’s Courts.

looking for it everywhere
Álvarez, considered one of the most critical voices regarding the situation in Nicaragua, has disappeared.
Vilma already went to the Ministry of the Interior (Migob) to obtain information about the monsignor, where they have told her that she must go to the Judiciary. She also went to El Chipote and the National Penitentiary Center located in Tipitapa, but the jailers do not give her reason, which increases her concern.
Likewise, the Honduran Bishop of Danlí, Monsignor José Antonio Canales, told Dispatch 505 that worldwide there is concern for Monsignor Álvarez, because it is not known with certainty what is happening with the Nicaraguan priest. And he criticized that the government “already surpassed the civilized barriers of today’s modern state.”
