HAVANA TIMES, Jan 23 — In a lengthy editorial published today in the Granma newspaper, the Cuban government denied responsibility for the death of prisoner Wilman Villar Mendoza.
“The Cuban government is being accused in an unreasonable manner, with it being blamed even without the most minimal investigation into the facts of the matter,” the editorial read, while denying that the man was being punished for political reasons.
The official notice gives no further information regarding the circumstances under which the death occurred and does not respond to any of the arguments or testimony presented yesterday by Cuban dissidents in the Cubamatinal website.
Villar Mendoza, 31, died last Thursday in Santiago de Cuba from organ failures caused by generalized sepsis after a prolonged hunger strike.
