 Prisoner
of conscience, Normando Hernández González, was hospitalized with
urgency after suffering several fainting spells. Some common prisoners
picked him up and called different human rights organizations within
Cuba.
On December 5, 2006, Juan Carlos González Leiva spoke on the telephone
with Yaraí Reyes Marín, who informed him that her husband, Normando
Hernández González, was not well at all and that the doctor of the
Ministry of the Interior had said that Normando would be moved shortly
thereafter to the provincial hospital of Camagüey where he would be kept
on a vitamin intravenous drip and administered Captopril three times
daily.
The activist expressed that military officials at the Kilo 5 ½ Prison in
Pinar del Río premeditatedly exposed Hernández to tuberculosis and had
caused him to have Gastrointestinal Mal Absorption Syndrome. Hernández
is a small, slender man who has lost around 35 kilos.
González Leiva added that this is not only his opinion. Hernández
González and a large group of prisoners in the facility where he is
incarcerated are accusing State Security of committing a “slow
assassination.”
The source concluded, stating that Normando, 37, is running a low-grade
fever every afternoon. Currently he is serving a 25 year prison sentence
in Kilo 7 in Camagüey.
