Political prisoner starts a hunger strike
to protest lack of medical treatment
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba - April 28 (Alejandro
Tur Valladares, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - Political prisoner Ricardo
Pupo Sierra slipped a note out of the Vista
Alegre prison last week saying that he had
started a hunger strike to protest lack
of proper medical treatment.
The note said that Pupo Sierra had started
the strike five days earlier. At that point,
he said he was suffering from dehydration.
Pupa Sierra said he decided to go on strike
because prison authorities had suspended
physiotherapy for a skeletal problem from
which he suffers.
"I won't end the strike until they
give me the medical treatment," he
said. "They've threatened to put me
in solitary confinement if I don't change
my attitude."
