Review: Julio Cesar has maintained his stance against the Cuban
government’s tyranny for many years. In several occasions the
authorities in charge of indoctrination have physically abused him for
not following their orders. Among others, the orders called for him to
shout government slogans in public such as, ‘Viva Fidel’. Julio Cesar
would always shout the opposite of whatever the government slogan
signified.
In 1997, Julio Cesar was sentenced to an additional 3 years of
imprisonment for writing anti-government slogans on his cell walls.
Julio Cesar was in solitary confinement in Kilo 8, a maximum security
prison, for 3 years. During that period, he was the subject of physical
and psychological punishment.
Julio Cesar was finally moved to a prison located in his hometown. He
has been serving his sentences with the general prisoner population,
which is made up of common criminals. He has continued to be the subject
of further abuses by the authorities and by other common prisoners who
act with the consent of the authorities.
Regardless of the forewarnings he and his family members gave to the
authorities, Julio Cesar was drugged and sexually violated in December
2002.
Julio Cesar’s health condition is deteriorating rapidly due to all the
abuse he has received for years in Castro’s prisons.
His weakened physical and mental state, make Julio Cesar Morales
Gonzalez, a Cuban political prisoner who should be the subject of an
international campaign asking for his immediate release.
