Mother and son on hunger strikes

Mother and son on hunger strikes
CUBANET

HAVANA, Cuba, June 29 (Frank Correa / www.cubanet.org) - Isabel Ramos
continues her hunger strike in support of her son, Arturo Suárez, a
political prisoner who started a hunger strike June 10.

The latest news Suárez's family received is that he's in the infirmary
of Havana's Combinado del Este prison. He started his strike after
authorities demanded that he wear a prison uniform for conjugal visits.
He has served eight years of a 30-year sentence.

Ramos shortly afterwards started her hunger strike in support of her son
and other political prisoners. The walls of her home in Jaimanitas is
covered with signs demanding their release.
