(Reuters) – Nicaraguan Catholic Bishop Rolando Alvarez was released from prison on Monday, according to a report by local news outlet Confidencial, which cited church and diplomatic sources.
Alvarez was jailed last year and earlier this year sentenced to 26 years in prison on treason charges after he refused to be expelled to the United States.
