The World Liberty Congress proudly announces that its President, Felix Maradiaga, has been appointed to the Advisory Council of the John McCain Freedom for Political Prisoners Initiative at the McCain Institute.
This appointment reflects not only Felix Maradiaga’s personal experience as a former political prisoner and global advocate for freedom, but also the extraordinary caliber of the Advisory Council itself. The Council brings together internationally respected figures with unmatched expertise in human rights, democracy, international law, diplomacy, and the defense of prisoners of conscience. It is a body defined by moral authority, strategic depth, and global credibility.
The McCain Institute carries worldwide weight as a leading institution dedicated to advancing freedom, human dignity, and democratic leadership. Its Freedom for Political Prisoners Initiative has already helped strengthen international coalitions working for the release of political prisoners and hostages, demonstrating the importance of coordinated global action in confronting authoritarian repression.
For the World Liberty Congress, this appointment is also a recognition of the urgency of the cause. The struggle for the liberation of political prisoners is not only a humanitarian imperative; it is central to the defense of democracy itself. Every political prisoner represents a life unjustly confined, a family living in anguish, and a regime that fears freedom.
The WLC reaffirms its commitment to working alongside the McCain Institute and other democratic allies around the world to ensure that political prisoners are not forgotten, and that the cause of their freedom remains at the center of international action.
