Human Rights Activist Harassed
HAVANA, Cuba - September 25 (Ahmed Rodríguez
Albacia, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- Cuban human rights activist William Cepero
spent a night in jail September 15 after
being harassed by agents of the Department
of State Security.
Cepero, 42, is the delegate in Havana of
the Cuban Foundation for Human Rights.
His troubles started, Cepero said, as he
left the home of fellow dissident Ahmed
Rodríguez. State Security agents
waiting outside harassed and threatened
him, Cepero said.
Later, as he walked home, he was picked
up as he traversed Zapata Street and taken
to the 7th police station, in the Playa
municipality of Havana.
Cepero said he was threatened by an agent
Machado, who told him that unless he gave
up what he called "his activities against
the government" he would put in prison
and he would not see his children grow up.
Cepero said he had been held for 12 hours
in a cell and finally released after being
issued a writ of warning, which he refused
to sign.
