MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Relatives of a U.S. citizen jailed for nearly two years on drug and money-laundering charges in Nicaragua said Thursday they are anxiously waiting for the jail to set him free after an appeal victory was announced Wednesday.

Jason Puracal’s sister Janis said the family is hoping the jail gets the order for his release Thursday. Otherwise, a long holiday weekend could postpone his release until next week in the Central American nation.

“The fight is not over until Jason actually is walking out of the prison and comes to the United States,” his sister said. Read more...

]]>Appellate Court Skirts the Deadline for a Decisionhttp://freejasonp.com/home/2012/9/6/appellate-court-skirts-the-deadline-for-a-decision.htmlFreeJasonP2012-09-07T00:10:48Z2012-09-07T00:10:48Z

Two weeks after Jason's appeal hearing ended, we still have no decision from the appellate court. According to Nicaraguan law, the court was required to issue its ruling within ten days after the hearing ended. That deadline (Monday, September 3) passed without a ruling or an explanation for the delay. Jason is watching the days pass as he sits in a Nicaraguan prison, far from his family. As we wait, the international press continues to be stunned by the atrocities in this case. Here, the Associated Press reports on Jason's life, the lack of evidence against him, and his final words at the appeal hearing: "I have never sold, bought or consumed cocaine. I have never laundered money in any way," Puracal said at the hearing. "I know you will find the truth."
