FROM
CUBA
Prisoner
of conscience in bad shape
HAVANA (www.CubaNet.org) - The wife of independent
union leader Nelson Molinet Espino says he has
lost 40 pounds since his imprisonment four months
ago.
Molinet, the secretary general of the Confederation
of Democratic Workers of Cuba, is serving a 20-year
sentence in the Kilo 8 ½ prison in Pinar
del Rio province.
His wife, Kirenia Guerra Lugo, visited him July
30. "They're trying to break his spirit,"
she said. "But as the repressive methods
increase, the more he is convinced that what he
has done, what there still is to be done, is more
necessary than ever."
