Jason Puracal, a U.S. citizen, has been held in prison in Nicaragua since November 2010 without a trial or even evidence of a crime. Jason moved to Nicaragua in 2002 to serve in the Peace Corps. After his service, he stayed in the country and eventually bought the RE/MAX franchise where he had been working as an agent. He later married a Nicaraguan woman with whom he has a four-year-old son.
On November 11, 2010, the Nicaraguan police showed up at Jason’s office wearing masks and carrying AK rifles. They raided the office and seized all the computers and files. They then went to Jason’s house, wearing the same masks and carrying the same AKs. The police forced their way into the house without a warrant while Jason’s 65-year-old mother and four-year-old son were sleeping. The police searched Jason’s office, house, and truck and found no evidence of any crime. They arrested Jason anyways and he has been held in a Nicaraguan prison ever since.

wow those fucked up Nicaraguans, how dare they do that to an American citizen. Americans would never hold people in prisons without charge for years and years....
