Prison inmates not allowed to pray

HAVANA, Cuba – March 6 (Juan Carlos Linares / www.cubanet.org) – In a note smuggled out of Havana's Combinado del Este prison, inmate Augusto Guerra denounced that prison guards prevented him and others from holding a prayer meeting.

“This afternoon they suspended a prayer session for more than 15 inmates,” reads the note in part.

Guerra is serving a two year sentence for “disobedience” as a result of having spoken ill of the government in public.

For the year and a half that he's been incarcerated, he has refused to wear prison garb, and as punishment has been denied the right to have visitors.
