Mr. Oviedo said. "I was beaten for amusement of the prison guards. If you didnt eat fast enough or if you didnt bathe fast enough. you would be beaten." Because of international pressure. about twohundred fifty Cuban political prisoners have been released and allowed to emigrate in the past year. In 1988. the Cuban government permitted a team from the United Nations Human Rights Commission to meet with some of the Cubans who wanted to bring cases of humanrights violations to the commissions attention. The Cuban government tried as much as possible to discourage contact with the blxmember UN delegation.
