Political prisoner seeks shelter in solitary
confinement cell
CIEGO DE AVILA, Cuba, July 3 (Luis Esteban
Espinosa, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- Political prisoner Virgilio Mantilla Arango
says he has accepted solitary confinement
because of threats from common criminals.
Mantilla Arango told the Cuban Human Rights
Foundation he has been in solitary confinement
since putting on a T-sheet last month that
carried the words, "Down with Fidel."
He said he wore the T-shirt to protest treatment
in the prison.
Mantilla Arango, 35, was imprisoned in
2002 for protesting the treatment given
an independent journalist.
Since he's been imprisoned, he said he
has been punched and threatened with a knife.
