Marc Masferrer reports that political prisoner Egberto Escobedo Morales, who has been on a hunger strike since 16 April 2010 is quite literally bleeding to death.

Escobedo has been in prison since 1995 serving a 20 year long sentence for "enemy propaganda" and "spionage", charges that were very common to be leveled against opponents of the Cuban dictatorship in the 1990s.

He initiated a hunger strike protesting the recent so-called elections in Cuba, and demanding more humane prison conditions.
