Luis Enrique Ferrer García |
|---|
Luis Enrique Ferrer García is a Cuban dissident.
He was arrested during the Black Spring in 2003 and received a 28-year sentence for his work with the Varela project, a civic initiative calling for democratic reforms in Cuba.
Upon leaving the courtroom, a member of the mob struck Luis Enrique Ferrer García with a hammer, and his mother and sister were violently thrown to the ground.[1]
To protest his unjust imprisonment, especially severe prison conditions and mistreatment by prison authorities, Ferrer García has engaged in numerous hunger strikes throughout his detention, often leaving him very ill and weak. He has reportedly been the victim of numerous physical assaults by security guards and violent prisoners, most of whom are believed to be encouraged by prison authorities to harass and intimidate him.[1]
