Health of political prisoner deteriorates in punishment cell at
Combinado de Guantanamo
(GUANTANAMO, February 25) - In a message taken out of Combinado de
Guantanamo, prisoners denounce the health condition of political prisoner
Jorge Luis Larrazabal Zulueta.
According to the note, this prisoner's asthmatic condition was aggravated
due to the inhuman environmental conditions suffered in the punishment cells
called "tolitas."
Zulueta also exhibits in his body marks of rodent bites. The re-educator,
who goes by the name of Rubén, continues to deny him medical attention,
even though his health has deteriorated considerably, with constant tremors and
the fever he now seems to have.

Political prisoner gets another beating after defending another
prisioner
(GUANTANAMO, February 25)–Political prisoner Ernesto Lucas Corral
Cabrera, who at the beginning of February was transferred to a section of
punishment cells called "tolitas", was object of a brutal beating at
the hands of Mayor Pablo Reyes Cobas, for demanding that immediate medical
attention be given to political prisoner Jorge Luis Larrazabal Zulueta, who's
health is deteriorating in the same punishment cells.
After the beating, Corral Cabrera was left laying in the floor while Major
Cobas went to clean the blood off his uniform, at which time Corral Cabrera
requested from those who were present to report the physical condition of
Larrazabal Zulueta in order to find international support for this political
