in Ariza.
RANCHUELO, CUBA – April 8
(Felix Reyes Gutierrez/Puenteinfocubamiami.org)- An outbreak of
tuberculosis erupted in the Ariza prison at the end of March of this
year.
Ruperto Juan Alfonso Becerra, a member of the Political “Presidio”Pedro
Luis Boitel inside the prison, informed this agency over the telephone
that there are several prisoners with the above mentioned contagious
disease.
Becerra noted that prisoner Hanle Acosta Abrahante who has the disease
was paroled by prison authorities. Never the less, prisoner Vencel Ruben
Sierra who also has TB is being treated at the prison’s infirmary along
with two other inmates with the same disease. And that inmate Roberto
Duenas Rodriguez went to the infirmary with all the symptoms of the
disease but Dr. Meliza Iglesias Rodríguez told him he had pneumonia and
sent him back to his cell.
Becerra finished saying that prison authorities have not taken any
sanitary precautions.
