Convalescing independent journalist transferred
to another prison
HAVANA, October 18 (Juan

- Independent journalist Víctor Rolando
Arroyo, recovering from a 24-day hunger
strike, has been transferred to the Cuba
Sí prison in Holguín province.
Arroyo, serving a 26-year sentence, was
taken from the Guantanamo prison, where
he held the hunger strike, to the Lenin
provincial Hospital in Holguín province
to recover. After less than week there,
he was moved to the Cuba Sí prison.
Arroyo's wife, Elsa González, called
the hospital October 14 and was surprised
to learn that he had been moved to the Cuba
Sí prison.
Arroyo arrived at the Lenin hospital suffering
weight loss, dehydration, unstable blood
pressure, mental lapses and renal problems.
"Now they're not fulfilling their
obligations, sending him back to prison
when he should be hospitalized," his
wife said.
The Cuba Sí prison is 600 miles
from Pínar del Río, where
his family lives.
