Farinas' turn for the worse

Guillermo Farinas, continuing his hunger strike, gave a detailed report on his medical condition last Friday (Cuban Colada translates here), and today AFP has his mother reporting that he is “on the verge of a major complication that will put his life in danger.”

The Spanish government has offered to take him to Spain by air ambulance according to El Pais. The article says Farinas responded that he would go if he were assured in advance that he could return to Cuba.

In solidarity, there were marches in New York and Los Angeles yesterday. Herald report here.
