Collector of signatures for Varela Project
threatened
HAVANA, February 16 (Ernesto Roque Cintero,
UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Members of the
political police have told dissident Humberto
Vigoe Chirino of San Cristóbal in
Pinar del Río province that he could
be put on trial if he did not stop collecting
signatures for the Varela project.
Vigoe Chirino, 36 and the married father
of two children, said that he was been stopped
many times by the political police and given
citations to appear at the police station.
"On February 6 I was cited by the
sector police chief, Oscar Aspectrio Bocoul,
who tried to get me to sign a document that
said I was a potential delinquent,"
he said.
He said the main object of the police is
to stop him from working on behalf of the
Varela Project.
The project collects signatures on a petition
calling for a referendum on democratic reforms.
