Self mutilation continues in the Combinado de Guantánamo Prison

(GUANTÁNAMO/CUBA/January 2nd /uenteinfocubamiami.org)- From the prison Combinado de Guantánamo dissident Jesús Aguilera Basulto expressed his concern regarding the self mutilations that daily take place there, denouncing the latest incident.

In this case, the prisoner Luis Alberto Torres Rodríguez, after having removed 7 square centimeters from his scalp, tied his tongue to the bed with a shoe lace from his boot and cut a piece of it with a shaving razor.

According to Aguilera Basulto the reason why Luis Alberto Torres Rodríguez hurt himself is because of the long sentence which he is serving; of which he has completed 15 years and still has 25 more years to go.
