Cubalex denounces the abuses committed by the authorities of the women's prison in Guamajal, Villa Clara, against Lisdiany Rodríguez Isaac, a 26-year-old woman sentenced to 8 years for her participation in the protests of 11J.
According to a report by Martí Noticias, Rodríguez Isaac was taken to the prison administration after being mistreated by a high-ranking official from the Ministry of the Interior. Her mother, Bárbara Isaac, stated that Lieutenant Colonel Alberiche, head of Internal Order for the Villa Clara Prisons and Corrections Directorate, and the prison director, Mariel de la Rosa, inspected the prison cells, and then Alberiche returned to Lisdiany's cell.
According to the testimony of a female inmate, the officer forcibly lifted her up and demanded that she stand at attention in front of him. Lisdiany responded that, as a political prisoner, she would neither salute nor obey the order. When she refused, the officer threatened her, saying, “If you don’t do it, I’m going to drag you back to your cell.”.
Lisdiany was eventually forcibly taken to the warden's office in front of the other inmates. Testimonies from other prisoners report that she began shouting anti-government slogans, joined by other prisoners from the holding cell.
Her family warns that Lisdiany's life is in danger due to the systematic harassment she suffers and reports that her current whereabouts are unknown.
