Jailed Journalist is Brutally Beaten
translated from the story in Spanish published by Young People Without Censorship, inside Cuba:
HAVANA, Cuba - September 1, 2006, by Ahmed Rodriguez Albacia
Prisoner of conscience and independent journalist Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta was savagely beaten this past August 29 by prison guards when he demanded he be allowed to make a phone call, a request that had been denied several times previously.
Without warning, Herrera was beaten by guards Maikel Zuniga la O and Nelson Domenech, who, kicked Herrera brutally, beat his hands, caused a swollen eye and bruises all over his body, and then dragged him away through the prison hallways.
Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta was charged with acting as an independent journalist and is serving a 20-year prison term in the maximum security prison Kilo 8, in Camaguey province.
