Cuban political prisoner Sara Martha Fonseca remains in jail Wednesday night, as a recent wave of Castroite repression continues to victimize some of the island's best-known dissidents.
Wednesday, Fonseca's son Julito Leon Fonseca went to a Havana police station to check on his father, who also was arrested this past Saturday. The younger Fonseca was accompanied by activist Eriberto Liranza, who also had been arrested Saturday but was subsequently released after suffering a vicious beating by the police.
Seeing the chance to repress again, the police took Liranza into custody, according to a tweet from Resistencia Cubana.
UPDATED, 11:25 p.m. EDT — Pedazos de la Isla has more on Julito's quest to learn about what is happening to his parents. It is a must-read.
“My parents’ situation continues the same, they are still detained, and have been on a hunger and thirst strike for 96 hours so far. ... My mother (Sara Marta) has severe pains from a violent physical blow given to her on her spinal chord, carried out by State Security officials," Julito said. “As for my father (Julio Ignacio) he is also in lots of pain and is also carrying out a hunger and thirst strike."
