(AI Translated) Due to her participation in the protests, she was harassed and threatened by individuals aligned with the ruling party, being detained on November 9 2021 by plain‑clothes, motorized and armed agents who intercepted her car at a police checkpoint, opened the rear doors of the vehicle and approached a civilian‑clothed woman who was with the motorcyclists, ordering her to get out of the vehicle; the police violently ripped off a blue‑and‑white bracelet she was wearing, verbally assaulted her and took her to an unknown destination. The next day her family located her at District III of the National Police in Managua, where she was given clothing and breakfast but no information about the reasons for her detention. Every day she was transferred to the Judicial Assistance Directorate “El Chipote,” where she was placed in a very small cell for several hours, where she could only sit or stand. Then she was moved to another interrogation room where she was told she was being accused of “sedition” because she was “plotting something” against the government, in addition to being subjected to psychological abuse. In the first days of her detention she was not given food or drink, nor did she have access to her medication despite suffering from constant migraines, gastritis, low blood sugar, and she also did not have access to her glasses. Twelve days after her detention, she was charged with conspiracy to undermine national integrity and cybercrimes, and on December 1 2021 she was transferred to the “La Esperanza” Penitentiary and placed in a maximum‑security cell alone; on January 10 2022 she was moved to a cell where she shared with two other human‑rights defenders who were also deprived of liberty, completely isolated from the rest of the inmates and under 24‑hour guard surveillance, strictly prohibited from interacting with others, and allowed yard time only two days a week for 15 minutes, with no permission to purchase food or other necessities from the prison store. On February 16 2022, she was taken to a trial hearing at 6:00 a.m. without having breakfast or water, surrounded by 12 guards and handcuffed with her hands forward, placed in a small cell where she remained until 1:00 p.m.; at that point the handcuffs were removed so she could eat before being returned to the penitentiary, as her trial had been rescheduled. During her stay in the prison, her health deteriorated; she suffered severe blood‑pressure problems and the prison psychologist diagnosed her with prison‑related stress, resulting from more than six months of isolation and daily early‑morning searches. During family visits, they were photographed and filmed, their telephone calls were recorded, and family members were forced to sign a document stating that authorities had respected their rights, while being prohibited from making statements or speaking about the detainees’ health or prison conditions under threat of having visits suspended or being denied entry of packages and medication. She also endured searches, mistreatment and threats from prison officials. On June 25 2022, she was moved to a pavilion‑cell with 65 other common inmates, where she was subjected to siege and harassment by the common inmates who acted on guards’ orders to obtain benefits, making the risk of physical aggression constant and the cell conditions unsanitary with infestations such as cockroaches. In November 2022, Jirón’s relatives witnessed threats, assaults and harassment she received from common prisoners, who threatened to gag her, bind her hands and feet, beat her, and called her “son of a bitch, damned troublemaker, coup‑plotter, parasite of society,” among other insults. This has left lasting effects on her health even after her release and exile. Defender Cinthia Samanta Jirón not only had her youth, family, home and university studies taken from her, but also, in an act of endless revenge and perversity, was stripped of her nationality. Upon her release and exile to the United States, she was rendered stateless like many defenders and human‑rights activists, forcing her to assume another nationality to begin a new stage of her life.
