The mother of Cuban gay activist and political prisoner David Bustamante, who on Monday was arrested and savagedly beaten after he climbed on a roof to shout anti-Castro slogans, has started a hunger strike to demand his release.
Bustamante, said his mother Sandra Rodriguez, has been transferred to a prison for AIDS patients, suffering from cracked ribs, a broken wrist and other injuries. Bustamante has HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Bustamante was arrested Monday, and according to other anti-government activists has been accused of "public disorder," in apparent reference to how police and other pro-Castro goons reacted to the protest.
Here is a video showing his protest"
