The hearing in the United States Congress took place the same day that the Nicaraguan Ministry of the Interior released new images of Mons. Álvarez, which would have been taken on November 29 and 30 when “medical care protocols, laboratory tests and reading of results to Rolando Álvarez, in the Jorge Navarro national penitentiary system,” according to one Press release of the institution.
In addition to some photographs, the ministry released the results of what would be laboratory tests performed on the bishop.
A doctor consulted by the Nicaraguan newspaper Confidential He pointed out that the results of the examination — which include a level of 14.8 hemoglobin, 45.7 hematocrit and 180 cholesterol — would not correspond to that of a thin person with the fallen appearance shown by Mons. Rolando Álvarez.
“Those results that they published are super good, they are those of a totally normal person, but for his nutritional status and the weight loss he has had, that hematocrit and hemoglobin should be much lower, and there comes out a fairly high hematocrit. , which does not coincide with his state of health. For me they are fictitious results,” he noted.
