The situation of the Cuban political prisoner, Donaida Pérez Paseiro, became alarming after it was learned that she presents severe symptoms of the Oropouche virus in the infirmary of the Guamajal prison, located in Villa Clara.
Her brother-in-law, Jorge Luis García Pérez “Antúnez”, reported to Martí Noticias that the woman has not received the necessary medical attention, which could seriously put her life at risk.
The severity of the illness has been made public after a recent contact that Antúnez had with Pérez Paseiro’s family.
The opponent stated that the situation is unsustainable, since an infirmary in a Cuban prison does not offer the same level of care as a normal hospital.
Based on his own experience as a political prisoner, he described the place as a “slightly expanded cubicle” that lacks adequate medical staff.
It should be noted that Donaida, 53 years old, also suffers from hypertension and diabetes, conditions that aggravate her situation.
In that sense, Antúnez demands that the political prisoner be urgently transferred to a more suitable environment to treat her illness.
“We are holding the prison officials responsible for transferring Donaida Pérez Paseiro, a 53-year-old woman with other life-threatening conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes. Furthermore, we hold the Castro dictatorship responsible for what may happen to Donaida Pérez Paseiro within that infirmary.”he asserted.

The activist couple, Donaida and her husband, the Yoruba priest Loreto Hernández García, were sentenced to 8 and 7 years in prison respectively, after demonstrating in Placetas during the protests on July 11, 2021.
Both have been recognized as prisoners of conscience by Amnesty International, which underlines the critical situation in which they find themselves and the lack of adequate care for their medical needs.
