Former Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina is bored.
Former Guatemalan President Otto Pérez Molina wants a computer. He would also like a television, a stereo, an exercise machine, a water dispenser and an electric stove.
But, languishing in prison since the day he resigned the presidency a month ago, the disgraced head of state knows he may not be able to take such luxuries for granted for a long time.
Pérez Molina's detailed his wish list in a formal request filed to a court by his lawyers and seen by The Associated Press.
The former president, his lawyers argue, has the right to leisure, health and freedom of expression. Following a long tradition of public figures who have turned to writing when put behind bars, the retired general is also reportedly planning a book on the history of his country.
"He is bored," lawyer Moisés Galindo told the agency.
I don't think that Perez Molina deserves to suffer in prison, especially given that he has yet to be found guilty. However, his accommodations look cushy enough.
