The organization was founded by Cuban political prisoners and has achieved a high level of respect among the Cuban people and internationally. Diaz Echemendia was arrested on August 9, 1990 and accused of the above mentioned ‘crimes’. In September 1997 at the Combinado de Guantanamo Prison, over 30 prison guards kicked and punched Diaz Echemendia, Jorge Luis García Pérez and Nestor Rodríguez Lobaina while they were handcuffed. Amnesty International expressed its concern in a report dated December 8, 1997 (AI INDEX: AMR 25/044/1997) ,- “according to reports, political prisoners Jorge Luis García Pérez (nicknamed "Antúnez"), Nestor Rodríguez Lobaina and Francisco Herodes Díaz Echemendía, were ill-treated in Combinado de Guantánamo Prison, Guantánamo Province, in September 1997. (Amnesty International) is also concerned that they were being, and may still be, held in conditions that amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment.” In accordance, Amnesty International called for the Cuban government to ensured that: · An independent and impartial inquiry be conducted. · Responsible individuals be suspended and brought to justice. · Political prisoners be provided with access to medical attention. To this date Amnesty International’s requests have not been granted by Castro’s tyrannical regime and Diaz Echemendia, Antúnez and Rodriguez Lobaina continue to be punished and treated in a cruel, inhuman and degrading manner. · Review authored by ‘Proyecto Rostros del Presidio’ using diverse sources. |
