Reprisals against jailed dissidents feared
1h5q6m
PLACETAS, Cuba - July 11 (Mara
Elena Alpzar Ariosa, Grupo Decoro
/ cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - The launching of a
book by dissident Huber Matos has caused
Bertha Antnez Pernet, president
of the National Civic Resistance Movement,
to fear for the safety of imprisoned relatives.
She said she feared reprisals against Jorge
Luis Garca Prez and Omar
Pernet Hernndez because of an exchange
on Dominican radio between Matos and the
head of the Cuban diplomatic mission in
Santo Domingo.
Matos' book, "Boitel Vive," recounts
human rights violations in Cuban prisons.
Such violations have been denounced by Garca
Prez, who has spent more than 15
years imprisoned and is the brother of Antnez
Pernet.
