Antunez denounces the beating of a political prisoner: ‘They dragged her across the floor, they spit on her, they kicked her, all in front of the prison population’

Political prisoner Arianna Lopez Roque was beaten and moved to a punishment cell at the Guamajal prison in Santa Clara after she led a protest on Tuesday calling on the Cuban people to take to the streets for a civic march on November 15.

From Miami, opposition leader Jorge Luis Garcia Perez “Antunez” told Radio Martí that Lopez Roque was beaten in front of the prison population, according to another political prisoner, Donaida Perez Paseiro.

“It has been confirmed by reliable sources and witnesses present that opposition leader Arianna Lopez Roque was subjected to a brutal and extensive beating in retaliation for the significant protest she sparked at the Guamajal prison in Santa Clara,” said the exiled Cuban opposition leader from Miami.

“She was dragged across the floor to the prison yard where a whole garrison was waiting armed with clubs, rubber hoses … they kicked her, punched her, yelled obscenities at her, they dragged her around, they spit on her, they kicked her in front of the whole prison population with the purpose of terrorizing the rest of the inmates. From there she was moved to a punishment cell where she is now,” said Antunez.
