Via Hablemos Press: Corresponsal de Hablemos Press se encuentra en su cuarto día de huelga de hambre. [Reporter for Hablemos Press in his fourth day of a hunger strike] Excerpt, with my translation:
El periodista independiente Calixto Ramón Martínez Arias, corresponsal del Centro de Información Hablemos Press, se encuentra en su cuarto día de huelga de hambre.
Independent journalist Calixto Martínez Arias, reporter for the Hablemos Press Information Centre, is in the fourth day of a hunger strike.
Martínez Arias, detenido el 16 de septiembre, fue trasladado el 10 de noviembre desde la cárcel Valle Grande hacia el Combinado del Este, ambas prisiones situadas en municipios de La Habana.
Martínez Arias, arrested on September 16, was transferred on November 10 from the Valle Grande jail to the East Combined Unit, both prisons situated in municipalities of Havana.Martínez Arias pretty well broke the news of cholera in Santiago last summer, and followed up with more reports on cholera and dengue. He was arrested after reporting the loss of considerable quantities of medical supplies provided by WHO. Others who reported on outbreaks haven't said anything recently. Since his arrest two months ago, Hablemos Press has reported little except government actions against the dissident movement. So we have very little information on Cuba's current public-health situation.
