Fidel Súarez Cruz |
|
Charge: Arrested in the repressive wave of March 2003 (Group of
75)
Organization: Movimiento 20 de mayo
Sentence: 20 years
Prision: Agüica. Matanzas.
Address: Finca la Irene S/N. Coop. Carlos Manuel de Céspedes. Manuel
Lazo. Ciudad Sandino. Pinar del Río.
Family: Aniley Puente Varela. (wife)
Review: Suárez Cruz’s wife,- Aniley has to travel over 300
kilometers from Pinar del Rio to Matanzas to visit him in prison. Suárez
Cruz refuses to live among the general population in the prison and is
therefore punished to solitary confinement by the authorities. Cuban
political prisoners run great risks when they are placed among the
prison’ general population. As is the case in other countries, the
common prisoner population is made up of criminals. These common
prisoners are often encouraged by the authorities to abuse political
prisoners in exchange for favors.
Due to the lack of medical attention provided by the prison staff,
Suárez Cruz’s health is fragile. His family and friends are concerned
because he suffers from renal problems which are not being treated.
At the time of his arrest Suárez Cruz was director of the ‘San Pablo” an
independent library in Sandino.
Suárez Cruz and his wife are members of the Partido Pro Derechos
Humanos.
