Pedro Luis Boitel
Pedro Luis Boitel (1931 – 1972) was a Cuban poet and dissident who opposed the governments of both Fulgencio Batista and Fidel Castro.[1] In 1961, the regime sentenced him to 10 years in prison.
Boitel died during a hunger strike in prison in 1972 while serving a sentence handed down by the communist regime.[1]

[edit]Before the revolution
Pedro Luis Boitel was born into a humble family[1] and studied at the University of Havana while also working as a radio technician.[1] In the 1950s Boitel opposed the government of Fulgencio Batista and went into exile in Venezuela where he collaborated with Rómulo Betancourt in his efforts to overthrow Marcos Pérez Jiménez's military government by setting up a pirate radio in that country.[1]
After the Cuban Revolution, Boitel returned to Cuba and resumed his studies at the University of Havana.[1] In 1959, Boitel ran for president of the University Students' Federation (Federación Estudiantil Universitaria; FEU) at the University of Havana and was backed by the 26th of July Movement.[1] Even though Fidel Castro headed this movement, Castro and the other revolutionary leaders removed their support for Boitel. Castro personally intervened in the student elections at the University of Havana to remove Boitel from the FEU presidency.[1]
[edit]Jail and hunger strike
As a Christian, Boitel became dissatisfied with political events in Cuba and formed a clandestine organization, The Movement to Recuperate the Revolution (MRR).[citation needed] In 1961 Boitel was detained and accused of conspiracy against the state, and was summarily sentenced to ten years in jail.[citation needed] He was not released after the 10 year sentence.[1] It is claimed that Boitel was tortured and beaten several times and that his mother Claretta was humiliated when she went to visit him in jail.[2] The Inter-American Commission of Human Rights found that the Cuban government had violated Article I of the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man in their treatment of the prisoner.[citation needed] Boitel sought authorization to leave Cuba but his requests were denied.
On April 3, 1972, Boitel declared himself on hunger strike.[1][3] After 53 days on hunger strike without receiving medical assistance and receiving only liquids, he died of starvation on May 25, 1972.[citation needed] His last days were related by his close friend, poet Armando Valladares.[citation needed] He was buried in an unmarked grave in the Cólon Cemetery in Havana.[1]
