http://ww.puenteinfocubamiami.org/guantanamo.html
(GUANTÁNAMO, February 13th) – Independent journalist Luis
Torres Cardosa was arbitrarily arrested this past Tuesday, February 12th, at
6:00 o’clock in the morning at his home. He was taken away in patrol car #
158 and driven to Unit 1 of the National Revolutionary Police in the city of
Guantánamo, and was interrogated by the police major known as Negret.
His arrest comes in response to the brave and humanitarian attitude of this
defender of Human Rights, when on February 5th, he confronted officials from
the provincial and municipality housing, trying to impede an eviction .
Neighbors surrounding the area witnessing his brave attempt began to call more
neighbors and in just a few minutes about 60 people were on his side. He is
now accused of coercion against housing officials, and a fine of $2000 pesos,
national currency was imposed pending the trial.
Meanwhile, Ferdinando Castro de Lardiller, National Delegate of the
Democratic Party 30th of November "Frank País", visited several
units of the National Revolutionary Police, inquiring as to the arbitrary
arrest of Torres Cardosa and he too was held for a few hours in the Department
of Operations of the State Security by 1st Lieutenant Lamorut, who in cynical
tones expressed to Castro de Lardiller that Torres Cardosa would be tried for
the crimes of public disorder and disrespect to government officials.
It is no secret, that even if Luis Torres Cardosa pays the fine, he still
will be condemned by a tribunal for the Department of the State Security wants
to sentence this brave man.

(GUANTÁNAMO, February 14th)- Jorge Alvarez Sánchez, 31 years
old political prisoner who is serving a 12-year sanction in Combinado de Guantánamo
was brutally beaten on January 23rd, by Major Pablo Reyes Cobas, head of the
Interior Order in the above-mentioned prison.
This criminal act was perpetrated in floor 2-A, and responds to the
supposed pretext that this prisoner is the one taking out information from
political prisoner Néstor Rodríguez Lobaina.
First Lieutenant Rogelio, also known as" El Chino", and several
officials of the Interior Order also participated in this brutal beating.
Criminal acts against political prisoners happen on a daily basis in the
prisons of the dictator Fidel Castro while he cynically proclaims that in Cuba
Human Rights are respected.

(GUANTÁNAMO, February 14th) - Common prisoner Ismael Téllez
Perez, sanctioned to 25 years in prison for a crime whose correct sentence is
only 8 years, injected a seringe full of feces in his legs after protesting to
the directors of the provincial prison Combinado de Guantánamo for the
unjust sanction he received.
The number of prisoners who attempt self-mutilation is increasing at an
alarming rate due to long sentences and the permanent state of terror that
reigns in this prison.
