Asked about the case, lawyer Alain Espinosa, a specialist at the Cubalex Legal Information Center, said that “both the prison regulation and the Criminal Execution Law force internal order to act to prevent and respond to threats and violence between inmates, and guarantee the safety and care of those who are victim.”
He also added, the military “must take all the necessary measures to prevent any situation, including preventive isolation.” However, he added, “in the cases of persons deprived of liberty for political reasons, it is many times the officials of the internal order or the security of the State who order the common prisoners who threaten and violate them, or in the best of cases allow it without acting in the way that the law imposes them.”
And he concluded: “This type of actions, in addition to violating the provisions of internal legislation, also violates the principle of non -discrimination and the processing of the complaints made by prisoners for violations of their rights or by the risk of their personal safety, established in the mandela rules.”
