Prison inmate insulted by X-ray tech
MORON, Cuba - June 22 (Antonio Femenías,
Agencia Patria / www.cubanet.org) - "We
have to kill them all," said an X-ray
technician at the North polyclinic in Moron
when she realized her patient was a political
prisoner brought in from the nearby prison.
When the prisoner, Pablo Pacheco, retorted
that he was for a dialogue among all Cubans
and couldn't condone the shootings [the
method of execution used in Cuba], the woman
explained she meant hanging, as she saw
no point in wasting lead with those not
in agreement with the Revolution.
Pacheco, who had been taken to the polyclinic
for an X-ray on his injured knee, said the
woman's behavior bothered his guards, who
told her she had no right to insult the
patient.
Pacheco is serving a 20-year sentence imposed
in March, 2003 for his activities as an
independent journalist.
