El líder indígena Brooklyn Rivera: De la ONU a morir bajo custodia del régimen

Brooklyn Rivera went from denouncing the invasion of Indigenous territories, the violence against Miskito and Mayangna communities, and the exile of human rights defender Anexa Alfred before the UN, to becoming a victim of enforced disappearance. After participating in the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in April 2023, the regime prevented him from returning to Nicaragua by air. Months later, on September 29, 2023, he was detained in Bilwi and remained disappeared for more than two years. On May 27, 2026, he was presented publicly in critical condition at a hospital in Managua, and three days later he died in state custody. His daughter, Tininiska Rivera, refuted the official version of his final moments and requested permission to receive her father's body to bid him farewell according to the traditions of the Miskito people. However, he denounced that Brooklyn Rivera's last wish to be buried on the Caribbean Coast was also disregarded, and that his remains were left in Managua after a burial held without the participation of his family.
