Detained man acquired dengue in jail
HAVANA, Cuba - August 1 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - Tomás Fuente,
a physician who has been in jail more than
16 days pending trial, said he was contaminated
with dengue fever in the Guanajay police
jail.
Fuente, who was arrested July 16, is accused
of disobeying authorities and of using offensive
language directed against Cuban president
Fidel Castro. He was arrested after he interfered
in what he called an abuse of authority
by two out-of-uniform police officers upon
a young man. The incident took place in
a truck in which they were all traveling
to Guanajay, a town not too far from Havana.
Fuente said the police unit in which he
is being held was sprayed, but not so the
holding cells. Fuente has headaches and
a high fever and has been vomiting since
July 29. The physician who examined him
at the Guanajay policlinic recommended he
be admitted to the hospital.
