Signers of the Varela Project issued summons
by the police
HAVANA, Cuba, September 30 (Adrián
Leiva / www.cubanet.org) - Dozens of residents
of the capital's Cerro district who signed
the Varela Project calling for a national
referendum have been issued summons by the
police.
Some of those who responded to the summons
said they were intimated into withdrawing
their support for the Varela Project. They
said they had feared government reprisals.
Under the Cuban constitution, a national
referendum can be held if 10,000 citizens
sign a request for one. The backers of the
Varela Project, which calls for a series
of democratic reforms, submitted 25,000
signatures to parliament.
