In the photographs released by the government propaganda, the physique of the young opponent looked visibly deteriorated, however the official channel Channel 8 stated that “the detainee is in good physical condition and health. Now the Supreme Court will have the last word on the sentence he received ».
In an interview to Article 66, a relative of Parajón expressed «how sad it is to see him in images, how skinny he is, it was not the body he had before. I have not been able to see him since he was arrested, but it is obvious that he is not having a good time ».
“His health is not good, but what happens is that one cannot speak at all because later they attack him,” added the brother of the political prisoner. He also stated that it was “glad to see him with his head held high, because he has not done anything wrong, he is innocent; what he did was claim and demand justice for the death of our other brother».
He also said that as a family they hope that Yader Parajón will be released. “May God allow us life and have the joy of seeing him free, because there is no evil that lasts 100 years, and not only that he is released but all the more than 200 political prisoners,” he expressed encouraged.
“May God enlighten the rulers and set him free”
For his part, Miguel Parajón, father of the prisoner of conscience, said that although he has managed to see him 10 times in “El Chipote”, it was hard to see him “as a criminal” because he has not done anything.
«My son is a psychology student, they made him spend his career, but there he is resisting and with his head held high. As a father, it was sad to see him skinnier, but always with his head held high and firm, although he is also afraid of him because he knows that the punishments are severe.
