Danilo Maldonado, El Sexto
On November 26th, 33-year old Cuban graffiti artist and human rights’ activist Danilo Maldonado, known as El Sexto (The Sixth), was arrested hours after Fidel Castro’s death was announced. He had painted graffiti on city walls including that of the Habana Libre Hotel that read “se fue” (“he’s gone”). Since his arrest, Maldonado has been beaten repeatedly by authorities, held naked in solitary confinement for several days, and had drugs added to his food. He is currently held in inhumane conditions at the Combinado del Este high security prison in Havana
