Eider Frometa Allen is curently serving his sentence in the Guantánamo Provincial Prison. On 17 April 2020, he was moved to the punishment cell due to a hunger strike he went on that day until 26 April. He decided to begin a hunger strike when he was refused a transportation to the Provincial Hospital Agustino Neto. Eider was having problems with his eye and was asking the authorities in the prison for a medical assistance. As no attention was paid to him, Eider did not have any other mean how to raise this issue than going on hunger strike.
