"My name is Yris Tamara Pérez Aguilera, wife of the former political prisoner Jorge Luís García Pérez Antúnez, I am denouncing the Castroite dictatorship for the damage being done to the strikers who are doing this just for (political prisoner) Jorge Vázquez Chaviano, demanding his freedom. At this moment my husband is in a critical situation. My husband has spent the morning with fever of 39 and a half Celsious (103 degrees Fahrenheit), a lot of pain in the joints, he does not talk, does not open his eyes. I am asking the international public opinion to raise its voice on behalf of those human right activists on hunger strike.”
