Ricardo Silva Gual
Dr. Ricardo Silva Gual, sentenced to 10 years in prison during the "black spring" crackdown of 2003, has been denied parole, according to his mother.
Elina Rosa Gual said her son, one of six medical professionals jailed during the crackdown, was denied a release because of "disicipline" problems, and because he has refused to wear a prison uniform — which is one way political prisoners tell their captors that they are not the boss of them.
Silva is currently being held in the Aguadores prison in Santiago de Cuba.
