Opposition doctor makes appeal to Cardinal
Ortega
HAVANA, October 5 (Roberto Santana Rodríguez
/ www.cubanet.org)- Opposition doctor Darsi
Ferrer appealed this week to Cardinal Jaime
Ortega to intervene with the government
on behalf of two prisoners on a hunger strike.
Víctor Rolando Arroyo and Félix
Navarro have refused food since September
24 and 21, respectively, at the Guantánamo
prison.
"The Church asked its faithful to
pray for the residents of New Orleans. Why
is it keeping quiet and not acting publicly
on behalf of these brothers in danger of
physical and spiritual death," Ferrer
asked in a letter dated October 3.
"We ask you to intercede with the
authorities so that these people can receive
treatment in accord with the minimum demands
of the United Nations," the letter
said.
The cardinal is the president of the Council
of Bishops of Cuba.
