Radio Martí this afternoon is broadcasting an impassioned plea by Juan Francisco Sigler Amaya, on behalf of his brother Ariel Sigler Amaya, a political prisoner since 2003 currently in grave condition in a Cuba military hospital.
Juan and two other family members were able to visit Ariel on Friday and found him, according to Juan, as little more than skin and bones.
Juan tried to take a photograph of his brother so the world can see how sick he is; after all, American authorities don't have a problem with allowing photographs of five convicted Cuban spies in U.S. prisons.
Ariel's guards, of course, said no.
Which even more than the impassioned pleas from Juan and other family members, should tell you how sick Ariel Sigler Amaya really is.
