Félix Maradiaga is a Nicaraguan human rights advocate and former presidential candidate. In his talk at the 2025 College Freedom Forum at Tufts University, he describes his imprisonment under Daniel Ortega’s regime and discusses how authoritarian regimes use arbitrary detention as a tool of repression.

The College Freedom Forum connects university students with world-renowned activists working to promote democracy and human rights in authoritarian regimes. During this event, students gain exposure to some of today’s most pressing human rights issues, resources to enhance their academic endeavors, and connections for professional growth.
