Cuban Democratic Directorate has more on political prisoner José Daniel Ferrer García's recently completed hunger strike, including this powerful comment from his sister, Ana Belkis Ferrer García, who was able to visit him for 5 minutes earlier this week:
“José Daniel has truly been reduced to a terrible state. The pain he felt in his stomach was unbearable. He bent over and placed his hands on his stomach because he could not bear the pain. Part of his body is raw flash because he is being consumed by scabies. The rest of his body is covered with a rash of welts as if he had the measles, but that are caused by mosquito bites. He had been in a punishment cell since Wednesday June 4th after having been in a cell at the El Salvador police unit in Guantánamo in indescribable conditions. He remained in that state, with the same clothes, filthy, infested, full of germs, foul-smelling, and spent those days on hunger strike without bathing, taking only sips of water because even taking water causes him great difficulty.”
