FROM CUBA Convalescing independent journalist transferred to another prison 586n71

HAVANA, October 18 (Juan Carlos Linares Balmaseda / cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - Independent journalist Vctor Rolando Arroyo, recovering from a 24-day hunger strike, has been transferred to the Cuba S prison in Holgun province.

Arroyo, serving a 26-year sentence, was taken from the Guantanamo prison, where he held the hunger strike, to the Lenin provincial Hospital in Holgun province to recover. After less than week there, he was moved to the Cuba S prison.

Arroyo's wife, Elsa Gonzlez, called the hospital October 14 and was surprised to learn that he had been moved to the Cuba S prison.

Arroyo arrived at the Lenin hospital suffering weight loss, dehydration, unstable blood pressure, mental lapses and renal problems.

"Now they're not fulfilling their obligations, sending him back to prison when he should be hospitalized," his wife said.

The Cuba S prison is 600 miles from Pnar del Ro, where his family lives.
