Independent journalist jailed nearly 3 months
with no charges laid
HAVANA, October 7 (Ernesto Roque Cintero,
UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - The wife of independent
journalist Oscar Mario González,
jailed since July without any charges being
laid, says she's alarmed at his physical
deterioration.
Mirta Wong says her husband has lost over
30 pounds since being arrested and that
he appears to have undergone mental changes.
"As time passes and in the conditions
which he has to live, with common prisoners,
unable to sleep, he's reached a state where
his health is being affected," she
said.
Wong, relatives and friends have sent appeals
to Papal Nuncio Luigi Bonazzi and to Cardinal
Jaime Ortega asking their intervention.
She said neither man has replied.
"I hope that the Church intercedes
with the authorities on behalf of my husband,
with whom I've been married for 20 years,"
Wong said.
