Case description:

The case of Ariel Hasdie López was linked to tuberculosis—a treatable disease—regarding which reports were also received from prisons in Quivicán and Melena del Sur (Mayabeque) and Guanajay (Artemisa), and from which many young inmates are dying. There were reports of widespread outbreaks of dengue (Nieves Morejón), hepatitis (La Condesa), and other infections in Agüica (Matanzas) and Mar Verde (Santiago de Cuba).

Diseases such as tuberculosis spread in unsanitary environments where medications are scarce for a prison population weakened by poor nutrition—a condition that, in many cases, reaches the level of malnutrition. This month, complaints were reiterated regarding the serving of spoiled food (fish, blood sausage, pasta, squash) in at least nine prisons across seven provinces, resulting in widespread outbreaks of diarrhea.

El caso de Ariel Hasdie López estuvo vinculado a tuberculosis, enfermedad tratable, sobre la cual también se recibieron reportes en las prisiones de Quivicán y Melena del Sur (Mayabeque) y Guanajay (Artemisa) y de la cual están muriendo muchos reclusos jóvenes. Hubo denuncias de contagios extendidos de dengue (Nieves Morejón), hepatitis (La Condesa) y otras infecciones en Agüica (Matanzas) y Mar Verde (Santiago de Cuba).

Enfermedades como la tuberculosis se propagan en ambientes insalubres donde escasean medicamentos para una población penal debilitada por la mala alimentación, que en muchos casos alcanza estados de desnutrición. Este mes se reiteraron denuncias sobre alimentos servidos en mal estado (pescado, morcilla, pasta, calabaza) en al menos 9 prisiones de siete provincias, provocando diarreas generalizadas.
