HAVANA, June 8 (Moraima Pires, Grupo de Trabajo Decoro) – Lourdes Caballero Meitín was fired from her teacher’s job by the Ministry of Education in Pinar del Río province when she joined a dissident organization.

When she applied for a job as a bookkeeper on May 27, Raúl Paralela, the director of the Services and Industries Company told her she could not be considered for the position, since there were revolutionaries who wanted it and she is a known counterrevolutionary.

Mrs. Caballero has two children, aged two and 16. The 16-year-old was expelled from school some months ago on account of his mother’s activism.
