FROM
CUBA
Employee
in Cuba fired for discussing Human Rights
Declaration 701t5i
HAVANA, November 14 (cubanet.sergipeconectado.com)
- s of a nickel refining plant
in Niquero, in eastern Cuba, accused an
employee of distributing subversive materials
for talking to other workers about human
rights, and fired him.
Alejandro Aguilarte, 27, said he found
a copy of the UN's Universal Declaration
of Human Rights in one of the plant's bathrooms,
and when he read it, realized that none
of its articles were observed in Cuba. Subsequently,
he started bringing up the issue for discussion
with fellow workers.
Calixto Guerra, a Communist Party militant,
called a meeting with the union's representative
and s of the Ren Ramos
Latour plant, and together they took the
decision to expel Aguilarte.
Aguilarte said he has since protested his
firing in letters to the Iron and Steel
and to the Labor ministries, but that he
has had no response.
