A/HRC/13/39/Add.2 74. Gustavo Antonio Silva Ferreira (cell 113) had previously been detained at Rocha and placed in an isolation cell for eight days. After that, he was indicted and transferred to Libertad, but he was not informed of the charges against him. He had been detained for eight months without a trial. He sewed his mouth shut and went on a hunger strike for 20 days. He suffered from Parkinson’s disease and did not receive adequate medical attention. As a result, he had to cut himself in order to obtain IV fluids. He added that the guards did not understand what his illness was. He shared a cell with his brother who helped him take care of himself. He noted that it was expensive for his family to visit him, and that he would like to be transferred to a prison closer to his home so that he could see them. Finally, he complained of having to drink water from the toilet. 75. Ernesto Rondéado Chappe had been at Libertad for 10 years. He was responsible for distributing bread, milk and cleaning (fajinero). He noted that he had had good behaviour since 2001 but that he was not transferred out of Las Latas. He added that he would like to have the opportunity to work. 76. Nicolás Benítez (cell 103) indicated that he would like to have an area where he could listen to music, make handcrafts and play sports, because men between 20 and 30 years old needed a place to use up their energy. He would also like to show his willingness to rehabilitate, but he has been unable to do anything since 2006 when he was transferred to Las Latas. He reported that he suffered from allergies but that he had not received any medical attention. 77. Esteban Andrés Da Silva Dornellez had been handcuffed for three hours at the entrance gate at “Las Latas”, directly in the sun and without being able to use the toilet. He was waiting to be transferred to sector E, but there were no available cells. He was being transferred because he was constantly beaten up where he was previously detained. He spent some time at COMCAR, and he noted that there was a lot of drug use there. He had been detained for over a year. 78. Carlos Javier Darrosa Vitali, aged 25, received death threats and had to be transferred from sector B after he informed the guards that one of the detainees was in possession of a knife. He was HIV positive, and reported that he only received medication occasionally. He shared his cell with other detainees. His arms were covered with recent self-inflicted cuts in an effort to obtain medical treatment. He was released two days after the Special Rapporteur’s visit, and was seen on the street by one of the members of the delegation a few days after the visit. 79. Alvaro Gastón Santos, 29 years (cell 104), had been detained at Las Latas for six months. He reported that the food was terrible, that there was no water in the cell and that he was forced to drink from the toilet. He had been punished for trying to escape and had been beaten several times. He added that it had been a few months since he was last beaten, and complained that the guards and prison authorities did nothing about it. He would like to work in order to foster his rehabilitation, but there was no possibility since they were always locked up. 80. Andel Trindale Muñoz (cell 122), aged 25, had been detained at Las Latas at Libertad since 2005. He explained that his hand was injured during a football match one week prior to the visit of the Special Rapporteur but he did not receive any medical treatment. His left hand was severely wounded and was very swollen. He was held under a punishment regime and reported that he had not been allowed to go to the courtyard for 30 days. 81. The forensic medical examination corroborated that the detainee had recent wounds on his left hand with signs of significant inflammation. According to the findings, the detainee had not received medical attention. GE.09-17655 39
