Dissident’s trial postponed

HAVANA, April 18 (Amarilis Cortina Rey, Cuba-Verdad) - Cuban dissident Isabel del Pino, 58, was informed last night that her trial for wanting to attempt against the life of a Communist Party member, originally set for today, April 18, had been postponed.

An officer of the Department of State Security who said his name is "Pol" went to del Pino’s residence last night and told her the trial was off. Del Pino refused to accept the man’s verbal statement as official, and a few minutes later, an officer of the National Police showed up at her house and handed her a written notice from the tribunal confirming that the trial has been postponed.

A number of members of several civil resistance movements had planned to hold a pacifist rally outside the courthouse today. Del Pino is the leader of the Humanitarian Association Followers of Christ the King.
