CUBA
Prison filthy and overcrowded, says political
prisoner
HOLGUIN, Cuba - August 8 (Liannis Meriño
Aguilera, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- Political prisoner Juan Luis Rodríguez
denounced poor conditions at the Cuba Sí
prison, on the outskirts of Holguín,
where he has been confined since July 23.
Rodríguez, 35, said the ward to
which new inmates are assigned is so overcrowded
that a number of them end up sleeping on
the bare floor and being exposed to dirt
and humidity since they get no bedding.
Rodríguez also said the reduced
space, the suffocating heat and the lack
of bathing facilities contribute to the
pervading stench. Water, he said, is only
turned on once a day, and for a few minutes.
Rodríguez was sentenced to two years
after being charged with "social dangerousness."
