For more than 60 days living in an 11 m2 room, without a balcony and unable to be exposed to direct light, my life is not much different than detention in a prison. The turmoil of the information or news, the threat of infectious diseases, the overload of daily cleaning and disinfecting works ... are all creating the terrible claustrophobia, extreme bondage and crazy suppression around me. This actual situation is somehow similar to being in psychological torture. In these moments, the image of the tortured prisoners at GUANTÁNAMO BAY prison, Cuba clearly occurs in my mind.
