Havana, Dec 1 (AIN) One of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters unjustly held in US prisons has undergone severe in- jail restrictions over the past few weeks.

Gerardo Hernández is not allowed to leave his cell, receive visits or phone calls, is provided only cold food and a short time to bathe, reported the Cuban newspaper Juventud Rebelde on Wednesday.

The Cuban anti-terrorist, who was unfairly condemned to two life sentences plus 15 years imprisonment by a biased Miami court, is being kept in solitary confinement at the Victorville

penitentiary in California, although he has committed no indiscipline to be punished for, the newspaper article explains.

In a recent letter to his wife Adriana Pérez in Cuba, Gerardo said "I can’t talk to you because I’m still kept in "locked down". I don’t know how long this will take, but don’t you worry about it. Everything’s fine."

US authorities continue to deny Adriana an entry visa to visit her husband under the pretext that she represents a danger to US national security, meanwhile the couple continue to be separated and suffer psychologically.

A similar situation faces Olga Salanueva, wife of René González, another of the Cuban Five. November 22 marked the fourth year since her deportation from the US. Since then, Rene’s wife has also been denied an entry visa. Their small daughter Ivette González is also affected, since she too is prevented from seeing her father.
