Deficient
medical care for imprisoned Cuban journalist
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, August 27 (www.cubanet.org)
- It took Bárbara Rojas and her five-year-old
son six days' travel time to visit her husband,
imprisoned journalist Omar Ruiz, at the Combinado
de Guantánamo prison, about 400 miles from
her home in Villa Clara.
Rojas said her husband has lost weight, and that
the only attention he receives for his high blood
pressure consists of a doctor sporadically taking
his blood pressure, but prescribing no medicines.
Rojas also said that Ruiz gets tears in one eye
when he reads, but that the doctor only told him
that he is not that young anymore. Finally, Rojas
said Ruiz is not getting any attention for an
enlarged prostate, for which he was receiving
treatment before being put in prison.
