(Reuters) - Nicaraguan opposition leader Juan Sebastian Chamorro on Friday recounted his whirlwind trip to Washington from Managua's El Chipote prison this week after he was pulled from his cell in the middle of the night and pushed into a bus.
Instead of a transfer to another prison as he expected, the former presidential hopeful was put on a plane with 221 other prominent government critics and flown to Washington.
