MANAGUA: Twelve Catholic priests detained in Nicaragua have been released and sent to Rome after the government of Daniel Ortega struck a deal with the Vatican, government officials said on Wednesday.

The group of clerics, who have been critical of Ortega's leadership, did not include Bishop Rolando Alvarez, who for a second time chose prison over exile.
