FROM CUBA Auto theft charge against prominent Cuban dissident dropped 2j272i

HAVANA, October 21 (cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - A police prosecutor apologized October 17 to the president of the Democratic Solidarity party, Fernando Snchez, who had been under investigation for the theft of an automobile.

Snchez was called to the sixth unit of the National Police in the Havana municipality of Marianao, where an officer who identified himself as Camilo apologized for the mistake regarding him, adding that there were already two men in custody in connection to the theft.

Snchez said he told the officer that it was easy to apologize after having tried to involve him in a common theft, which spoke poorly of the professionalism of the police. He added, he said, that he was certain the accusation was politically motivated.

"You should make the apologies effective by discharging the officer who slapped my 11-year-old grandson in the face last week."

"I cannot accept apologies from a government that has systematically violated our political and civil rights for 44 years. The real apologies should be extended to the 75 prisoners of conscience who were jailed last March, and to their relatives," Snchez said.
