STATE OF HEALTH OF CUBAN PRISONER OF CONSCIENCE, GUIDO SIGLER AMAYA, WORSENS

Matanzas, Cuba / July 21, 2007

Family members of prisoner of conscience, Guido Sigler Amaya, remain deeply troubled at his deplorable state of health as Guido remains confined at the maximum-security prison of Aguica serving a 20 year prison sentence.

Through a telephone call, Sigler Amaya, informed his family on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, that he had lost almost 10 pounds in one week because he is unable to eat since his mouth is full of sores and his gums are constantly bleeding. His blood pressure is very high, and the results of an electrocardiogram he underwent were altered.
The medication given at the prison to Sigler Amaya for the arthritis he suffers is incompatible with his high blood pressure condition. For his cervical arthritis he was thus prescribed a neck brace that, according to authorities, is impossible to obtain at the prison where there isn’t even transportation available to pick it up.

Sigler Amaya’s state of health is so complex that the prison doctor, known as Gaspar, recommended that he be admitted to an infirmary or a hospital. According to the prisoner of conscience, he suffers from dizziness almost daily and his handgrip is weak; in addition, he is unable to neither stand or sit for long periods nor sleep face down on his stomach. Sigler Amaya suffers great pain and acidity from his chronic gastritis, and his prostate is becoming more inflamed as well as painful. “I don’t even know how I’m going to be able to continue living as I am," stated Guido, “it seems as if my existence fades away with each passing day…”

Se agrava la salud del Prisionero de conciencia Guido Sigler Amaya
Matanzas, 21 de julio de 2007http://www.opositorcubano.blogspot.com/

Familiares del prisionero de conciencia Guido Sigler Amaya continuan muy preocupados por el deplorable estado de salud en que se encuentra el reo, recluido en la prision de mayor severidad de Aguica.

Mediante comunicacion telefonica Sigler Amaya informo este martes 17 de julio de 2007, que habia bajado casi diez libras de peso corporal en una semana, ya que tiene toda la boca enllagada y las encias sangrandole, por lo que no puede alimentarse, la presion arterial la tiene muy alta, le hicieron un electrocardiograma cuyo resultado fue alterado.El tratamiento para la arthritis resulto incompatible con el uso de medicamentos que le producen hipertension arterial, por lo que le recetaron una especie de collarin, llamado Minerva, pero que no hay en la prision ni existe transporte para ir a buscarlo.

La condicion de salud del reo es tan compleja que el doctor del penal conocido como Gaspar aconsejo ingresarlo en la enfermeria o en un Hospital. Segun detalla el prisionero casi todos los dias tiene mareos y esta perdiendo la presion en las manos, no puede estar mucho rato parado ni sentado, no puede dormir boca abajo, la gastritis cronica que padece le produce mucho dolor y acidez, la inflamacion prostatica es cada vez mayor y dolorosa, termina manifestando Sigler Amaya ' Ya no se como voy a seguir viviendo, la vida se me acaba un poco cada dia'
