Dissidents Wear Their Clothes Inside-Out As A Protest Token

HAVANA, June 23 (María del Carmen Carro, UPECI) – Members of the Liberation Movement here are wearing their clothes inside-out as a token of their opposition to the Castro government.

Humberto Perugurría, a leader of the movement, said "People on the street look at us in confusion and say ‘Sir, your clothes are inside-out.’ When I reply that the shirt like that is a protest against the Castro government they smile, approving our behavior."

Perugurría said that next they will pursue other initiatives, such as placing a sign in front of their headquarters that reads "Liberty Villa."

The Liberation Movement relies on peaceful protest to carry out its objectives.
