Today marks the third day of the hunger and thirst strike
initiated by Dr. Ariel Ruiz Urquiola, a strike that was started as a protest
for the violation of their rights while serving an unjust sentence. Ariel has
determined that either his rights as a prisoner are respected and he is allowed
to work in the camp like the other prisoners or he will continue this strike
until the end of his days. Omara, his sister, wrote yesterday a letter to the
Attorney General of the Republic explaining the situation and the violations
that are being committed in the prison, letting him know that it's been more
than two days since this strike began and that they would be the ones
responsible for what may happen to Dr. Ruiz Urquiola. I am enclosing a copy of
the letter sent by Omara and I sincerely hope that the relevant authorities
will intervene in this matter and take measures to eradicate the violations,
stop this strike and save who is a valuable Cuban scientist and a great human
being. Let the jailers of Ariel know that the international community is
following this case closely. Let your jailers know that we are all with our
eyes on them. Do not doubt for a moment that we will NOT forget what they are
doing and what they are going to do. None of these crimes has to go unpunished.
Dr Jorge Gonzalez,
Un Cubano mas.
