FROM CUBA Bleeding prisoner is hospitalized 4t602s

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, October 17 (Grisel Domnguez Consuegra / Cubanacn Press / cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - Prisoner Lster Gonzlez Pentn, sentenced to 20 years during the 2003 crackdown on dissidents, was taken from the Youthful offenders Prison in Villa Clara to the Celestino Hernndez Robau hospital in Santa Clara last week.

"For more than a year I've been suffering from rectal bleeding," said Gonzlez Pentn, 27. "For that reason it was decided to do a rectoscopy."

Yanet Ocaa Castro, his wife, said her husband was placed in a room with AIDS patients and asked her to notify an officer of the political police to find another room for him. He said he would refuse the rectoscopy if his room was not changed.
