Darsi Ferrer update

ADO6
Dr. Ferrer treats a patient

Cuban human rights activist Dr. Darsi Ferrer remains in jail, facing trumped-up charges of "assault" and "receiving stolen property." So far, he hasn't gotten anything even faintly resembling a court hearing.

He also remains on hunger strike, protesting attempts by prison authorities to treat him as a common criminal. In retaliation, officials have stolen his food and a photograph of his son, blocked him from receiving mail and threatened to subject him to beatings.

Free Darsi Ferrer NOW!
