Imprisoned independent journalist Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta of the Agencia de Prensa Libre Oriental (APLO) yesterday suspended his hunger strike after being rushed to the Amalia Simoni provincial hospital in the eastern city of Camagüey.

Herrera, who had been on hunger strike for 23 days in Camagüey's Kilo 8 prison, said the medical treatment he was receiving was poor.

He is suffering from headaches and stomach pains, and has lost a lot of weight.

He added that he intended to resume his hunger strike as soon as he is better.

Herrera's demands are a transfer to the prison in the eastern city of Guantánamo, where he is from, the ability to attend religious services and permission to receive letters from his family.
