----

Preso político que cumplía condena por 10 años y realizaba trabajo forzado en un centro penitenciario que se lanzó de un puente en un acto de suicidio. Agonizó tres días en el hospital antes de morir resultado de sus heridas. Sufría trastornos mentales y depresión y había intentado quitarse la vida en dos ocasiones en la prisión del Combinado del Este.  Estaba privado de libertad por manifestarse en La Güinera, Arroyo Naranja, durante el "11J" (protestas masivas del 11 de julio 2021).  Había sido condenado el 24 de enero de 2023 tras un juicio celebrado en el Tribunal Popular del municipio 10 de Octubre después de pasar más de un año con medida de prisión provisional, a la espera de juicio. A pesar de sus trastornos mentales, las autoridades judiciales se negaron a otorgarle una licencia extrapenal y en su lugar, lo pasaron a un régimen menos severo en el Campamento de Trabajo Forzado “Toledo”, en el municipio Marianao, donde tenía derecho a breves estancias en su hogar.
