Cuban political prisoner Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello without family visits at the Hospital since Friday

M.A.R. Por Cuba's press release # 5. August 7, 2003.

August 7, 2003 - As per information provided by Martha Beatriz' niece -- María de los Ángeles Falcón Cabello - she received a telephone call last Tuesday from the security officer in charge, instructing her to be outside the Carlos J. Finlay Military Hospital at 10:30 AM the next day (yesterday). The security officer indicated that although she would not be able to see Martha Beatríz on this occasion, she would be able to bring clean clothes and food for Martha Beatriz. The niece asked about Martha Beatriz' health condition and was told by the security agent that "she was fine".

María de los Ángeles went to the Hospital yesterday as instructed. She waited outside from 10:05 in the morning until 1 PM. No one came out to meet her or to pick up what she had taken for Martha Beatriz.

Family members are very concerned because relatives have not been able to visit Martha Beatriz at the Hospital since last Friday. Little is known about her present health condition.

We hold Castro's regime accountable for the life of this Cuban woman arbitrarily sentenced to 20 years in prison and transferred on July 24th from Manto Negro prison to the Carlos J. Finlay Military Hospital with high blood pressure, chest pains and nose bleeds.

We make an urgent plea to the international community to inquire about Martha Beatriz' health by calling the Carlos J. Finlay Military Hospital, Telephone # 011-537-260-9681 to demand that Martha Beatriz' family be allowed to see her; that the required medical attention for her delicate condition be provided; and that she be immediately set free.
