Charge: Arrested in the repressive wave of March 2003 (Group of 75) Organization: Independent journalist Sentence: 18 years in prison Prison: Prisión Provincial de Guantánamo. Family: Barbara Rojo Arias. Address: Luz Caballero #118 e/ Hospital y Misionero. Rpto. Villa Josefa. Santa Clara VC. Review: Omar Ruíz Hernández comes from a religious family. His father was a pastor and Omar was also formally studying theology. Omar Ruíz Hernández reported on the Castro’s regime practices through the Centro-Norte Press Agency and later the Grupo de Trabajo Decoro. He participated in opposition groups such as Comisión de Derechos Humanos (Human Rights Commission) and the Partido Solidaridad Democrática (Democratic Solidarity Party). In one of his letters from prison Omar Ruíz Hernández tells his wife “I am convinced my time in prison is not due to the man who governs the lives of 11 million persons, but to God who wanted me to live through this;- and I humbly accept it.” In the same letter Omar gives us a glimpse of his strong beliefs –“ I was conscious of what my actions could bring, that is why I have been able to endure it with stoicism.” Note: Review authored by ‘Proyecto Rostros del Presidio’ using diverse sources |
