A week ago, Carlos Ramírez, a rafter recently deported to Cuba who was detained with his wife and other migrants in Nassau, said that He would prefer to have drowned in the sea rather than suffer serious abuse to which he was subjected in the immigration center for three months.

The homemade boat in which he and his pregnant partner were traveling capsized on September 13, 2022. They were rescued by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) on an islet in the Bahamas and later taken to the place where they lived their worst nightmare. A hell that he claims was marked by beatings, hunger and the inability to communicate with his families.

“My wife was pregnant there and was hungry, in need. I had to take my food away to send it to her,” said the rafter.

“The worst thing they have is abuse. Now you go out and complain or ask for water or something, like me, who asked for my breakfast, and then they wanted to come in and take me out to hit me. The people on the ship did not let them take me out, but anyone who allows themselves to be taken out will be beaten to a pulp,” he testifies.

“I saw a physically disabled person being beaten inside the ship,” added the young man, who reported that the prisoners are crammed into warehouses set up for 40 detainees in which they locked up more than 80 people, as can be seen in a recorded video. with a cell phone where some detainees appear sleeping on the floor.
