Guantanamo inmate with pancreatic surgery is tortured in various ways for complaining of severe pain in his pancreas due to inadequate food at the prison.

José Antonio Pérez Miranda is an inmate at Guantanamo who had pancreatic surgery and is therefore unable to eat a number of foods, such as rice. On Tuesday, October 25, he complained to the doctor on duty, Dianelis Cabrera Quevedo, about severe pancreatic pain because he did not have access to adequate food. The official's response was to have him tied up in the torture room that the Guántamo prison staff call "Salita de Psiquiatría", a room with five beds fixed to the floor and infested with bedbugs. The inmates who dare to protest for any reason are locked up for several days naked, bound hand and foot, without food or water, and they are not allowed to relieve themselves. Faced with Perez Miranda's cries, the prison director, Lieutenant Colonel Marcelino Bueno Taveras, responded to his cries and had him tied up even tighter. He also ordered a jailer to beat him with a hose while he was tied up as punishment for continuing to scream. Jose Antonio Perez was tied up from Tuesday, October 25 at 9:40 p.m. until October 30.
