Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez aims to bring you snapshots of real life inside Cuba. On February 23rd she spoke to Reina Luisa Tamayo Rangel the , a Cuban dissident who died the same day in a Cuban prison following a hunger strike:

My son has been tortured throughout the days he has been in prison. They had him 18 days in Camagüey with no drinking water. My son died after 86 days of hunger strike. I, with deep pain, ask the world to demand the freedom of the other prisoners, brothers jailed with no justice, so that what happened to my son doesn't happen again. Mi hijo ha sido torturado en todo el tiempo que ha estado por las prisiones. Ha sido objeto de sufrimiento para mí, objeto de tortura para su familia. Lo tuvieron 18 días en Camaguey sin tomar agua. Mi hijo muere con 86 días de huelga de hambre. Yo con mi dolor profundo le pido al mundo que exijan la libertad de los demás presos, hermanos encarcelados injustamente, para que no vuelva a suceder lo que ha sucedido con mi hijo.
