Bleeding prisoner is hospitalized

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, October 17 (Grisel Domínguez Consuegra / Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - Prisoner Léster González Pentón, sentenced to
20 years during the 2003 crackdown on dissidents, was taken from the
Youthful offenders Prison in Villa Clara to the Celestino Hernández
Robau hospital in Santa Clara last week.

"For more than a year I've been suffering from rectal bleeding," said
González Pentón, 27. "For that reason it was decided to do a rectoscopy."

Yanet Ocaña Castro, his wife, said her husband was placed in a room with
AIDS patients and asked her to notify an officer of the political police
to find another room for him. He said he would refuse the rectoscopy if
his room was not changed
