Political prisoners denounce treatment at Combinado del Este prison

HAVANA, Jan. 2 (Ernesto Roque, CPI / www.cubanet.org) – Three political prisoners incarcerated at the Combinado del Este prison have denounced what they call inhuman treatment of prisoners.

Camilo Perez Villanueva, Francisco Chaviano Gonzalez and Luis Campos Corrales smuggled out a note that said Perez was denied medical treatment Dec. 13 for an ulcer from which he suffers. The note said the medic on duty refused aid because he thought Perez was faking the pain.

The note also said that three common prisoners who suffer from cancer, Angel Garcia Rivero, Raul Suarez Oliva and Francisco Gomez Martinez, have been refused treatment outside the prison as is common for serious cases.

The trio also requested that the death sentence of Jorge Luis Rodriguez Mir, who has lost both hands and suffers from a nervous condition, be commuted. They were Rodriguez Mir was the subject of daily psychological pressure.

The note said that on Dec. 20 there was no Mercurochrome available for minor cuts.
