insulting Fidel Castro
HAVANA, March 17 (www.cubanet.org) - Aracelis
Hernández Duarte, lawyer for jailed
dissident journalist José Agramonte
Leyva, says an additional charge of insulting
Fidel Castro has been levied against her
client.
Agramonte Leyva has been jailed in Camaguey
since February 4 for allegedly breaking
windows in a super market, although his
lawyer says he was out of town at the time.
Agramonte Leyva's mother, Zoila Leyva Naranjo,
said she recently saw her son for 10 minutes.
"He's very thin," she aid. "He
told me that he sleeps on the floor without
a mattress and that he has to do without
the most basic necessities, like adequate
clothing, cleaning supplies and food."
Agramonte Leyva is director of an independent
library project in Camaguey and a reporter
for the Lux Info Press news agency.
There were no details given of the alleged
insult to Castro.
