| Jorge Pelegrín | |
Age: 32 Arrested: August 8, 1993 Case #: 15/93 and 113/95 Desertion, Piracy and Illegal exit from the country. Sentence: 36 years Prison: Boniato Health condition: chronic hepatitis, bleeding ulcers, gallstones Address: (Mother) Edificio A #56 Apto. 9, Centro Urbano Antonio Maceo, Santiago de Cuba.CP 90100 Review: More than 10 years in prison and deteriorating health have not deterred Jorge Pelegrin’s non-violent and democratic struggle to restore civil rights and the respect for human rights to the Cuban people. In February 2000, Jorge Pelegrin and others confined in the Boniato prison wrote a letter to the National Council of Churches of the United States denouncing the arbitrary legal system and the inhumane conditions imposed on political prisoners by the Cuban Ministry of Prisons. Following is an excerpt describing their trial. “The trial, or shall we say the judicial farce, was held without any procedural guarantees. The first opportunity we had to speak to our defense lawyers was at the beginning of the trial. But what more can be expected from the presiding Provincial Court convicting us of the so-called charge of ‘crimes against the security of the state’; when this Court without any reservations ,represents the interests of the political police and the Communist Party.” · Review authored by ‘Proyecto Rostros del Presidio’ using diverse sources. |
