CUBA
Imprisoned Cuban journalist placed in
solitary confinement for threatening a hunger
strike
HAVANA, January 13 (www.cubanet.org) -
The sister of independent journalist Fabio
Prieto Llorente says her brother remains
in solitary confinement as a result of threatening
a hunger strike to protest being kept with
dangerous common criminals.
"They keep my brother isolated,"
said Clara Lourdes Prieto Llorente.
She said she was unable to see him but
was able to have a shouted conversation.
"His blood pressure is unstable and
I notice he was somewhat nervous, but he
remains firm and in good spirits,"
she said.
Prieto Llorente, 40, was sentenced to 20
years at a trial last April following a
government crackdown on dissidents.
