Cuban pacific
opponent in prison denounces brutal beating by DTI officials.
HAVANA, CUBA - April 8 (Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello /
Puenteinfocubamiami.org) - I, Orestes Yumar Julián Gómez, member of the
Democratic Party 30 of November "Frank País", have been in the prison Nieves
Morejon of Sancti Spiritus since Thursday, December 14, 2006, under very
poor conditions. As a result of a brutal beating I received at the hands of
officials of the DTI (Department of Technical Investigations) where they
used their guns to beat me in my neck and throat, I have to breathe through
a tube placed in my throat.
After the beating, I went through the supposed legal channels in this
country to place a formal complaint and I only received threats from
prosecutors of the Delegation of the Interior Ministry of Sancti Spiritus.
Dissident Ana Margarita Perdigon has in her possession al the evidence I
have, copies of the subpoenas and other documents with the Seal of the above
mentioned delegation.
I continued forward with my complaint and they accused me of the supposed
crimes of assault and resistance. They could not prove any of the charges
during the trial. Anyway, they locked me in a cubicle at this prison where I
am forced to sleep on a bunk bed (on the third level) where I have to
breathe the entire bad odor.
I am suffering from chest pains and bleeding. Last Wednesday, a specialist
came to the prison and Captain David and officer Abelito were arguing with
the prison doctor and the specialist because they did not want the
specialist to put in writing the instructions and medical care my condition
required.
Received from the desk of Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello for re
distribution. Translation: Puente Informativo Cuba Miami.
