Cubalex records a total of 56 deaths “in custody” in two years, since January 2022
14ymedio, Madrid, July 16, 2024 — Independent journalist and political prisoner Carlos Michael Morales has terminated his month-long hunger strike. As reported by Baptist pastor Mario Félix Lleonart on Tuesday on his social networks, Morales announced it from the prison room of the Provincial Hospital of Villa Clara, after learning that they scheduled his trial for this coming Friday, July 19.
A doctor told the journalist, says Lleonart, that he would not authorize Morales to attend in his current state, but “in his process there are so many irregularities and violations that he wants to give him the opportunity to attend because he hopes for his freedom.”
Several organizations stated weeks ago that Morales, admitted to the medical unit of the Guamajal prison, in Santa Clara, was in “serious danger.” The activist, who has already been in prison for two years and 10 months for demonstrating in Caibarién, Villa Clara, during the massive protests of 11 July 2021 (11J), and who was released in March of this year, was arrested again on May 4. In two months he has gone on two hunger strikes.
