Havana, July 24 (Car it to me Diaz Fernandez, APSIC) - 22 years old inmate
Jorge Coba, victim of epilepsy, has been confined to the infirmary of the Guantánamo
jail, where he does not receive any medical attention.
Coba is in a very bad physical condition due to the repeated attacks that
come accompanied by seizures and unconsciousness, denounced the group "Presidio
Político Pedro Luis Boitel" (a political prisoners organization that
denounces, from inside penitentiaries, prisoners' condition) in a note illicitly
extracted from prison.
According to the note, the doctors, with Dr. Aracelis as the head physician,
justify the mistreatment by saying that the inmate is faking the attacks.
Many cases of prisoners' death due to the lack of medical attention has been
reported from this infamous jail on the east of the island.
