Oswaldo Payá denounces the horrid attack against Rolando Jimenez Posada in Guayabo Prison on La Isla de la Juventud
El preso Político y de conciencia cubano, Rolando Jiménez Posada, fue vilmente agredido físicamente por una turba de presos comunes, de la mas alta peligrosidad , cuando este fue trasladado desde su celda de castigo a convivir en celda con presos comunes el pasado 31 de Dic. Incidentes antes relatados en nuestro comunicado anterior resultado de Rolando haber ripostado al periodista Lázaro Barreto por los comentarios respecto a su persona difamantes proferidos por este llamado periodista en un programa de la Mesa Redonda.
Con motivo de esta inhumana golpiza Rolando tiene el Rostro desfigurado y casi perdida de la visión de uno de sus ojos, según manifestó su esposa Lamasiel Gutiérrez Romero, periodista independiente.
Rolando se encuentra condenado a 12 años de prisión en la Cárcel el Guayabo, Isla de la Juventud .Fue 1er teniente de la Inteligencia cubana, y fiscal contra los delitos del narco trafico, en su provincia y separado de su cargo cuando fue gestor del Proyecto Varela.Muchos de los presos comunes de alta peligrosidad a donde fue trasladado fueron acusados por Rolando durante su incumbencia como fiscal.
Este atropello, como el proferido posteriormente a Antonio (Tony) Díaz Sánchez comunicado por nosotros, debe ser atendido con urgencia por la comunidad internacional, los organismos de Derechos Humanos y las autoridades de gobierno en países solidarios con la defensa del pueblo cubano pues viene desarrollándose un patrón de ataques a los prisioneros políticos mientras el pueblo recrudece el reclamo de cambios y estos no quieren ser atendidos adecuadamente por los funcionarios del régimen.

Oswaldo Payá denounces the horrid attack against Rolando Jimenez Posada in Guayabo Prison on La Isla de la Juventud
Havana , January 10, 2008- Cuban political prisoner and prisoner of conscience, Rolando Jiménez Posada, was vilely physically assaulted by a mob of highly dangerous common prisoners, when he was transferred from his solitary confinement cell to another cell he shares with common prisoners on December 31. As previously reported on this incident in a previous statement, this attack was the result of Rolando’s response to the journalist Lázaro Barreto with regards to defamatory comments this so-called journalist had issued against Rolando in a “roundtable” program.
As a result of this inhumane beating, Rolando’s face is disfigured and he has lost almost all vision from one of his eyes, according to his wife Lamasiel Gutiérrez Romero, an independent journalist.
Rolando is imprisoned with a 12 year sentence in Guayabo Prison, on the Isle of Youth. He was a Cuban intelligence deputy and a prosecutor against narco-trafficking crimes in his province and was discharged from his position when he became a Varela Project organizer. Many of the highly dangerous common prisoners in the prison cell that he was transferred to were indicted by Rolando during his incumbency as a prosecutor.
This attack, as well as the one reported by us earlier against Antonio (Tony) Díaz Sánchez, must be responded to with urgency by the international community, Human Rights institutions, and government authorities in countries that are in solidarity with defending the Cuban people. A whole series of attacks against political prisoners is unfolding as the people are beginning to increase their call for change while the regime’s officials do not want to respond adequately to these calls.
