An inmate has died from severe burns suffered a week ago during a riot at Cuba's largest prison.
The man (35) was badly burned when rioting prisoners doused fellow inmates with gasoline as they set fire to mattresses.
It was the second death reported from two riots at Havana's Combinado del Este prison on March 19th and April 5th by inmates resisting transfer to inland jails.
Elizardo Sanchez, president of the Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation, called on the country's authorities to publish information on the two prison riots, which have gone unreported in the Cuban press.
"It is very probable that several more inmates have died in these incidents," he said.
Riot police used rubber bullets and tear gas to end the rioting in a wing of the prison where more than 4,000 inmates are being held, Mr Sanchez said.
But many of those injured in the last riot, from burns and knife wounds, had been attacked by rioting prisoners for not joining the revolt, he said, citing relatives of the inmates.
