Cuban political prisoner goes on hunger strike

HAVANA, Cuba, May 5 (Oscar Mario González, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - David García Capote, who's been serving a 30-year prison sentence since 1999 on charges of trafficking in humans, went on a hunger strike at the end of April, according to his sister, Zenayda García Capote.

García Capote, a resident of the United States, was arrested while on a mission to take his family back with him.

His sister said he went on the hunger strike after being moved, for no apparent reason, to a solitary confinement cell in the Guanajay prison.
