|
Case #: 2/1994 Espionage and Armed robbery
Sentence: 20 years
Prison: Boniato
Address: Edificio 4, Bloque 1, Apto. 9, Reparto Rajayoga,
Santiago de Cuba, CP 90100
Review: Batista Cruz was a member of the Cuban Revolutionary
Armed Forces for 12 years and at one point in his military career was
second in command in charge of operations at the Oriente Naval Base.
Batista Cruz became appalled with the systematic and arbitrary manner
the Cuban government deprives its citizens of their civil rights.
Batista Cruz has continued his civil disobedience during his confinement
at the Boniato prison. He has refused to attend roll call, to wear the
uniform worn by the common prisoners and to visit with his family.
Lieutenant Luis Enrique Sánchez López has threatened to ‘physically
vanish’ Batista Cruz, who was transferred to the Mar Verde prison for
his continued attitude of defiance.
Upon his arrival at the Mar Verde prison, Batista Cruz was placed in
solitary confinement for 24 days. The threats against his life have
continued at Mar Verde by the prison warden Liuetenat Colonel Manuel
García Sarmiento and the State Security official assigned to the prison
Colonel Juan Carlos Tabares.
Proyecto Rostros del Presidio will always strive to make known the names
of the responsible prison officials who abuse and deprive Cuban
political prisoners of their rights; -we only wish we had their
photographs!
