Written question asked by Lord Patten (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Malloch-Brown (Labour) on Monday, 16 June 2008.
Cuba: Prisoners
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have made representations to the Government of Cuba concerning the health and treatment in prison of Dr José Luís García Paneque, the former head of the independent news agency Libertad, presently serving a 24-year sentence.
- Answer
-
I refer the noble Lord to my responses on 2 June (Official Report, cols. WA 7-8). We are particularly concerned about those political prisoners, such as Dr. Paneque, who are reported to be suffering poor health yet are not provided with adequate medical treatment. Our embassy in Havana continues to monitor Dr Paneque's case and maintains contact with his supporters.
