Dissident doctor on hunger strike

HAVANA, Cuba, July 27 (Leafar Pérez, www.cubanet.org) - Yusnaimy Jorge
Soca says her husband, dissident medical doctor Darsi Ferrer Ramírez,
has been on a hunger strike since his arrest July 31.

Ferrer, director of the Juan Bruno Zayas Health and Human Rights Center,
has been held without charge at the Valle Grande prison.

According to his wife, police said her husband had not been arrested but
was being held for questioning about events that occurred July 9, when
agents broke down the door to his home and removed two sacks of cement.

For the past few years, Ferrer has been a main organizer of a protest
march every December 10 in front of the UNESCO headquarters in Havana.
He has also been involved in publications denouncing poverty in Cuba.
