Prisoner singled out for abuse by guards

HOLGUIN, Cuba - June 15 (Liannis Meriño Aguilera, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org) - A prisoner who had himself tattoed with anti-government slogans all over his body is being singled out for abuse at the Holguín provincial prison, said Alfredo Domínguez, a political prisoner serving time there.

According to Domínguez, 27-year-old Adolfo García, has tattoes on his body that say "Down with Fidel" and "No more Fidel with hunger."

Guards, Domínguez said, deny García the opportunity, afforded to other prisoners, of taking the sun in the patio and of making phone calls to his family.

In addition, said Domínguez, guards routinely beat García up and restrict the time of his visits.
