Bishop Rolando José Álvarez Lagos of Matagalpa was indicted on charges of conspiracy during a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday in which he was ordered to remain under house arrest.
The judge has also confirmed the arrest warrant against Fr. Uriel Antonio Vallejos, pastor of the Jesús de la Divina Misericordia parish in the city of Sébaco, who is currently in exile, on the same charges. He was taken into custody by police officers on Aug 19 last year, along with priests, seminarians and lay people, after being forcibly imprisoned for two weeks in the Curia for allegedly having attempted to “organise violent groups” with “the aim of destabilising the Nicaraguan State and attacking the constitutional authorities”.
The charges against Bishop Álvarez come amid tense relations between the Catholic Church and Ortega’s Sandinista government, that began in April 2018, when the Central American country was rocked by huge protests against controversial government reforms. Ortega accused the bishops of being complicit in an alleged coup.
