The inmate's mother Lázaro Lenin Almenares Álvarez, who died in a prison in the province of Granma, was attacked at the funeral home for denouncing the lack of medical care that led to her son's death.
According to what was revealed in an audio sent by relatives of the deceased to the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights, the repressor identified as José Luis hit the lady during the son's wake, at the funeral home, after the old woman demanded an answer for the serious act of negligence that ended the inmate's life.
The woman's daughter said that the man scratched her face and the blow was marked.
The sister of the attacked woman also stated that "they let my nephew die because they did not give him medical attention when he asked for it."
According to what he said, the young man's mother went to the prison begging to be taken home but they told her that he had nothing and assured that they had treated him at the medical post at the Las Mangas prison, something that the family denied after finding out. .
Lázaro Lenin Almenares Álvarez, 32 years old, remained for six days in the Las Mangas prison, in Bayamo, with bleeding in several organs, without medical assistance being provided until this Tuesday, when he was treated, but it was too late.
According to the complaint, the prison guards “said that he had nothing,” that “he was pretending.”
One of the relatives alleged that the boy had bruises on his body, on his back, on his ribs and on his collarbone.
"They let you die, my love, my little one!" exclaimed his grieving mother, at the foot of her son's body on a hospital stretcher.
Almenares was sentenced to nine years in prison, without the right to parole, after being tried for coming to the defense of an elderly seller of agricultural products and hitting a police officer when he attacked him, one of the publications states.
