Political prisoner Argüelles on hunger strike

Cuban political prisoner Pedro Argüelles Moran, an independent journalist imprisoned since 2003, started a hunger strike Dec. 9 after officials at the Canaleta prison in Ciego de Ávila interfered with a conjugal visit with his wife.

Argüelles had repeatedly asked officials to explain delays in the visit. Ultimately, he refused to see his wife after the delay.

Argüelles, who was arrested during the "black spring" of March-April 2003, is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
