Review: Manuel Ubals González has declared himself a “plantado”
in order to officially affirm his political prisoner status. Plantado is
the name given to cuban political prisoners who refuse to cooperate with
the prison authorities. Their refusal to wear the uniform used for
common prisoners and to follow any orders that mey compromiso their
status are based on the principle that they are not common prisoners and
have not committed any crime, but are simply imprisoned due to their
political beliefs.
General Rafael Tamayo Calderín is the director of prisons in Cuba and
has declared that prisoners of conscience who resist to be treated as
common prisoners will be dealt with in the most severe manner.
