Two Puerto Rican political prisoners are facing some serious repression in prison right now. One, Carlos Alberto Torres, has a good chance of getting parole after serving 29 years in prison, but suddenly has had false charges placed against him (they were dropped after an investigation but are now being reversed!) that could easily derail his chances of getting out. The other, Avelino Gonzalez Claudio has developed a neurological condition and is being denied medical treatment.
The National Boricua Human Rights Network and the Comite Por Derechos Humanos de Puerto Rico are waging a phone and fax campaign.
