At Risk of Permanent Disability

This week, Cuban pro-democracy leader, Juan Carlos González Leiva, warned that as many as 10 political prisoners are at risk of permanently disability due to the lack of medical attention and abuses suffered in the Castro regime's prisons.

Please note that these dissidents were in perfect health at the time of their incarceration.

They are:

• Ariel Sigler Amaya, who has been left paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.

• Antonio Villareal Acosta, who suffers from psychiatric disorders caused by his confinement.

• Normando Hernández González, who suffers from severe intestinal problems.

• Pedro Argüelles Morán, who is practically blind.
