Cuban dissident Darsi Ferrer being tortured in jail


Just in from the blog Uncommon Sense..........

Cuban human rights activist Dr. Darsi Ferrer, in jail since July 21 but not formally charged with a crime, is being tortured by the Castro dictatorship, which is refusing him treatment for a painful dental problem, according to a dispatch posted at Miscelaneas de Cuba.

Ferrer reportedly is under investigation for buying cement on the black market to repair his apartment, but Cuban human rights activists have said they believe he is being persecuted because of his work as an independent journalist and other human rights activities.

For a list of 11 reasons why Ferrer is in jail, read this list provided by his wife.
