Activist re-convicted after being provoked by alleged request from authorities



Activist Eider Frómeta Allén was sentenced to one year's imprisonment for a cause of injury to another Guantánamo Bay prisoner. According to the victim, other inmates were provoked into a fight so that the authorities could keep him in jail. It is a practice used in that prison to use inmates with long sentences, who are offered benefits such as passes or conjugal hall, to provoke inmates with political causes in order to keep them in prison. The activist is serving a year in prison for the crime of contempt and disobedience and maintains a dignified attitude as a political prisoner, for which he does not receive benefits from the garrison.
