Hola mi nombre es Yenysel Díaz Sánchez hija del prisionero de conciencia Antonio Ramón Díaz Sánchez (Tony) encarcelado en la ola represiva de la Primavera Negra de Cuba en marzo del 2003.Mi padre es uno de los primeros Coordinadores del Movimiento Cristiano Liberación. Junto a Oswaldo Payá entregó las primeras firmas del Proyecto Varela, dando así una esperanza al pueblo cubano de cambios pacíficos en la isla. Como recompensa el gobierno lo condeno a 20 años confinándolo en una prisión a mas de 700 kilómetros de su hogar.
Ocho meses atrás fue trasladado a el Hospital Militar presentando una crisis de una colitis ulcerativa idiopática adquirida en la prision por las condiciones precarias que presentan.
Durante estos meses la seguridad del estado propuso a mi familia que si mi padre vestia el uniforme de preso común es decir de criminal, sería trasladado a una prisión cercana de la casa con un mejor régimen. Como mi padre no aceptó este chantaje, le castigan enviándole a una prisión situada a unos 500 kilómetros de su casa (Canaleta, Ciego de Ávila).
Lo mas preocupante de esta situación es en las condiciones precarias que se encuentra, en una celda que tiene dimensiones de una jaula, con un hueco para las necesidades y una losa que sirve de cama, en medio de la oscuridad y humedad permanentes y sin ninguna comunicación al exterior, teniendo además una alimentación de campo de concetracion sin importar la dieta prescripta por los médicos .
Esta situación de confinamiento en condiciones inhumanas, que daña su salud y le causa dolor y malestar permanente, es la tortura física y psicológica con que se castiga a un ser humano que sólo está defendiendo su dignidad en condiciones de total desventaja física pero con toda la razón
moral.
De este hecho ya hace un mes y no hemos tenido noticias de mi padre no sabemos si está vivo o muerto ya que no le permiten visitas ni llamadas.
Le pido en nombre de de mi hermana Lazara Massiel Díaz Sánchez de solo 10 años a todas las personas de Buena voluntad que no dejen morir a nuestro padre en las mazmorras de las cárceles cubanas por personas que no son capaces de respetar los derechos de un hombre que ha dedicado su vida a defender los derechos humanos de todo un pueblo.
Muchas gracias por su consideración
Hello, my name is Yenysel Díaz Sánchez, daughter of Antonio Díaz Sánchez (Tony), a prisoner of conscience in Cuba. My father was imprisoned during the repressive wave known as the Black Spring of Cuba during March 2003.
He is one of the original coordinators of the Liberation Christian Movement (Movimiento Cristiano Liberación). Tony, Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, and Regis Iglesias Ramírez were the individuals responsible for submitting to the Cuban National Assembly the signatures collected as part of the Varela project.
This act of courage, which took place in May 2002, gave the Cuban people a glimmer of hope that a peaceful transition to democracy would be possible on the island. As a reward, the Cuban government condemned Tony to 20 years in prison in a facility located more than 700 km from his home.
Eight months ago, Tony was transferred to the Carlos J. Finlay Military Hospital (located in the city of Havana and less than a mile rom his house) for treatment of a case of ulcerative colitis contracted as a consequence of the precarious conditions of his confinement. In the last few months, Cuban State Security officials informed my father that, should he agree to wear the uniform of a common criminal, he'd be transferred to a nearby prison with better living conditions. As my father was unwilling to submit to this blackmail, he was punished by being sent instead to Canaleta prison in Ciego de Ávila prison (500 km from his home).
The most worrisome aspect of this situation are the deplorable conditions of Tony's confinement. He has been placed in a humid punishment cell with the dimensions of a cage and with a hole for his
basic bodily functions. He has a slab for a bed and doesn't get enough light. Tony has no communication with the outside world and is subject to what can be described best as a
concentration camp diet--notwithstanding the strict diet prescribed by the doctors.
The inhumane nature of Tony's imprisonment is the source of his deteriorating health and chronic pain and discomfort. It is both physical and psychological torture, inflicted on an individual for attempting to defend his human dignity under the most disadvantageous of circumstances. It has been 25 days since my father was transferred to Canaleta and his family has received no news of his current status.
The Cuban government has canceled all family visits. We have no idea whether he is dead or alive. I ask all persons of good faith, on my behalf of my ten-year sister Lázara Massiel Díaz Sánchez, to prevent the death of our father in a Cuban dungeon at the hands of persons incapable of respecting the rights of a man that has dedicated his life to the defense of the human rights of an entire nation.
Thank you for your consideration.
