(AI Translated) Victor Ticay is originally from Nandarola, Nandaime, a municipality belonging to the city of Granada, south of Managua. Ticay is the youngest of nine siblings. Through great effort he managed to fund his university studies by working from an early age, completing his communications degree in 2015. He began working in 2014 on the Acción 10 program, where he provided information to the public about events and various social situations affecting the population, becoming the voice of many victims of human rights violations. In April 2018, he started sharing on his social networks posts about the burning of corn, about reforms to social security, and the 2018 social protests. From there the threats began. The first threats appeared on social media through fake profiles telling him to be quiet, and his wife was threatened online if Ticay did not stop. On several occasions he was pursued by motorcyclists and vehicles while traveling from work to his home. At the time of his detention he was working as a correspondent for Canal 10, the highest‑audience television channel in Nicaragua, from which he served Nicaraguan society with verified information on any issue. He was one of the few journalists who remained in the country despite the government’s persecution and threats against the profession, which forced thousands of journalists into exile. On numerous occasions Vice President Rosario Murillo has labeled journalists as “information terrorists” for allegedly spreading false information about President Daniel Ortega’s administration. Ticay had become “a reference for information for the people” to the point that when something happened, everyone turned to his digital platform. He covered the 2018 social protests and demonstrations, exposing the joint actions of paramilitaries and police in armed attacks on civilians, and since then Ticay has been a victim of harassment and threats. On one occasion Pedro Morales Moraga, who then worked for the Nandaime Mayor’s Office, rammed him with his truck and threatened him with a firearm, calling him a liar; when Ticay filed a complaint with the police, they instead told him he could be detained, and hours after filing the complaint he received several messages on his social networks mocking and threatening him, yet he continued reporting. In 2020, after the closure of news outlets, media and the persecution of journalists, Ticay focused on covering religious, social and cultural topics and community journalism, continuing to work at the channel in the area of social and religious services. However, since 2021 the government has maintained an aggressive persecution of the Catholic Church. He was detained on 6 April 2023 by plain‑clothes police, without a judicial order and taken to the police station shirtless and handcuffed. When his wife arrived to inquire together with his nephew, they were kept detained at the station for three hours until Ticay’s mother arrived; the police released the wife and nephew without informing them of Victor’s whereabouts. The trigger was that the journalist had recorded the religious procession “La Reseña” on 5 April, the day before, after the Ortega‑Murillo regime banned religious gatherings amid the persecution of Catholic priests, and for that reason he was arbitrarily detained and was not seen for a period of three months, prompting journalist organizations to demand a “proof of life” from Daniel Ortega’s government.
