Charge: Arrested during the government’s crackdown of March 2003
(Group of 75)
Sentence: 20 years in prison
Prison: Kilo 5 1/2 . Pinar del Río

Review: Leonel Grave de Peralta has stood firmly on the side of
his fellow political prisoners. Once he joined in a hunger strike to
protest the physical abused of another prisoner of consciente at the
hands of the prison staff. Since he has been sent to the province of
Pinar del Río to serve his sentence his family members who reside in the
province of Oriente must endure many hardships when they visit him. They
have to travel the width of the island and depend on the very unreliable
cuban transportation system.
On several occasions Grave de Peralta has been a signatory party to
documents denouncing the precarious state of the cuban communist society
and its prisons.
