Madrid Spain.- The Cuban art historian Anamely Ramos denounced this July 12 that since last Thursday there has been no news of the artivist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara (LMOA), who has been on a hunger and thirst strike since July 4, in the prison of Guanajay, demanding his immediate and unconditional release.
“We don’t know what is happening, but the fact that he is incommunicado gives the measure that it is not a good thing,” Ramos said in social networks.
The opponent recalled that during his last hunger strike, Otero Alcántara suffered paralysis and warned that “his body is at the limit.”
“What people don’t understand is that their spirit is more at the limit. Luis can’t get locked up. He is absolutely innocent. He is a citizen who loves freedom. An artist who looks at the world from freedom. Cuba does not yield. To nothing. And the world is watching Cuba exterminate its own people,” he denounced.
Since its publication, the activist asked the United Nations to hold the Cuban regime accountable for Luis Manuel Otero.
“What has happened to the Cubans and continues to happen is also your responsibility,” he said, addressing the entity.
Since he has been in prison, LOMA has carried out two other strikes: The first from September 27 to October 12, 2021; and the second from January 18 to February 22, 2022.
Last June 24 The Prosecutor’s Office announced the sentence of five years of deprivation of liberty for Otero Alcántara for the alleged crimes of continued insult to the symbols of the country, contempt and public disorder. Otero Alcántara has refused to appeal said sentence.
