A/HRC/13/39/Add.2 on the detainees two to three times a month. Searches took places every two months, but the last one had been four months earlier. The Island (“La Isla”) 87. Jorge Edgar Guevara Medina had been in La Isla for one month as a punishment. He was not allowed to go out to the patio and did not receive any visits. His cell was dark, with metal bars and a wooden gate, which prevented daylight from entering his cell. He and the detainee in the cell next to him shared a bible, which he read and wrote phrases from on the wall. 88. Gonzalo Damián Scanzerra Sosa, aged 25, had been detained at La Isla for 10 days, as a result of a fight he had with another detainee. He did not know why he had been transferred to Las Latas, but complained of having been beaten by other detainees and by the guards. When he requested to see a doctor, he was allegedly told to set himself on fire if he wanted to be taken to the doctor. He complained about the lack of water and electricity. Central building (“Celdario”) 89. Julio Cesar Barragán Millán, aged 26, was arrested for drug possession, was shot at and broke his leg during the arrest. Since his detention, he had reportedly not received adequate medical attention. At the time of the visit, he was unable to walk without crutches. This was a particular problem if he had to take the stairs from the fourth floor to the ground floor to receive visits. He informed the Special Rapporteur that a meeting with the forensic doctor had finally been scheduled for the following week. He complained that the detainees often had no water and that the food provided, a watery soup, was inedible. 90. Christian Alfredo Ramajo had previously been detained at COMCAR and transferred to Libertad six weeks before. He has been waiting for his trial for over two years. He noted that there was no lack of water and that he could go to the patio twice a week. He reported that the guards had found a mobile phone in his cell and punished him. He said that he would like to hang himself. Because of his fragile state, the Special Rapporteur asked the prison authorities to pay special attention to him. 91. Nelson Núñez Dinelli (cell 54) reported that he had an ulcer but received no medical attention. 92. Héctor Eduardo Sapieri Alcántara reported that the wound from a previous surgery had reopened, but he had not been given medical attention. Due to his situation, the Special Rapporteur requested the prison authorities to give him the necessary medical attention. 93. Richard Marcelo Costa Silva, aged 22 (cell 56), had been detained at Libertad for four months and complained about the lack of sufficient food. He reported that he had received 54 wounds from rubber bullets. He also complained about the vaginal searches of women who visited the prison. 94. Vito Carlos Alvez, 28 years old, had been detained for eight years in COMCAR and Libertad. Once, as a punishment, he was not allowed to go out for 60 days. On the day of the visit, the water supply worked but the detainees often had no water for a couple of days. Because of the visit of the Special Rapporteur the light in his cell had been fixed two days before. He was supposed to get a special diet because he was HIV positive. However, he did not get proper food and his family had to bring in food for him. He had been isolated for eight months in 2008. He had conducted a hunger strike and was beaten. When he complained and asked for medicines for his injuries he was beaten again. The doctor never came. He was also regularly beaten during searches. He could not complain because if he saw the judge and complained, he would be beaten again or receive all kinds of restrictions. GE.09-17655 41
