Denouncement to the international community, eviction as means of
repression
(GUANTÁNAMO, CUBA, December 14 the 2001) - Last Friday, December 7, a
denouncement was made before the international public opinion regarding the
eviction of Bertha de la Rosa Morando, 62 years old, owner of the home she had
living in for over 40 years which she inherited from her parents.
She was evicted from her home along with her pregnant daughter and small
grandson; measure applied by the government against this former political
prisoner who served 3 years in prison for a crime against the integrity and
stability of the nation, Sanctioned in the cause 107/70. In said occasion she
was robbed of her jewels which were valued according to the tribunal in $52
000.00 dollars, and to this date the government has not returned the jewels to
Betha.
Today, after interviewing this victim of the repressive system of the
autocrat's Fidel Castro, one can see the striking interest of the dictatorship
to apply extremely severe and unscrupulous measures to those that opposed the
regime.
De la Rosa Morado is presently at the mercy of God and the help of some
relatives that have given her shelter until she solves her problem, which by the
way, won't have a solution, for when she goes to State Agencies she is
mistreated for the only reason of being a former political prisoner.
Also, her daughter Sucelt Savón , 29 years old, is victim of the
despotism of the Castro régime which did not take into account her
advanced pregnancy when they threatened to drag her when the body of inspectors
and police forces were in the process of evicting them. There were more than
200 people and a dozen of activists of human rights outside the home that yelled
in disgrace for this violation.
It is also necessary to point out that according to work sanction in Sucelt’s
labor file, she was expelled from the educational sector on December 10, 1997
for simply having presented a request for her legal exit of the country.
We are requesting the international public opinion to follow closely this
case, where the violator and unconstitutional government of Cuba have left
homeless and destitute this family.
We forwarded this accusation to the emigration and naturalization department
(INS) of the Interest Section of the United States where Bertha de la Rosa
Morando is registered with the file A25 458 822 or the CU-29432, so that their
case is reconsidered for the sad and painful situation they are presently going
through.

Insufficient supply of vegetables to the hard-working people of Guantánamo.
(GUANTÁNAMO, CUBA, December 16, 2001) –Vegetables, used by the
hard-working people to stretch what is sold in the meager monthly family basket,
consistent of 5 pounds of rice, 5 pounds of sugar, 20 ounces of grains and a
rationing of meat products, is scarce at the present time in the city of Guantánamo
due to disagreements between companies which supply those provision to the town,
making their supply very unstable.
According to the weekly publication "Venceremos", official organ
of the provincial committee of the Communist Party of Cuba in the town,
residents in the neighborhood San Justo, are concerned because the plantains
sold to the people in the plaza at Street 11th in the corner of Prado, are not
healthy for human consumption, maintaining the same price that those that are of
good quality.
While consumers give justified complaints, no vegetables have been sold in
the past two months in the plaza located at "calle Norte e/ Cuartel y
Ahogado". And no agreement amongst the above mentioned suppliers are
expected in a near future.

Families in Guantánamo continue being thrown out of their homes
(GUANTÁNAMO, CUBA, December 6, 2001) - Bertha de la Rosa Morando,
together with her pregnant daughter and a grandson, became victims of Castro's
dictatorship when on the morning of December 6, 2001, at 10:20 a.m. they were
thrown out of their home.
The eviction took place at the aforementioned time and was effectuated by
more than a dozen policemen and approximately twenty inspectors.
Mrs. de la Rosa, together with her daughter and grandson, cried all the
while being forcefully evicted, with more than 200 witnesses present whom did
not approve of this violation of Human Rights.
The hypocritical head of government, whom in his assertion "La Historia
me Absolverá" (History will Absolve Me), stated that among the
objectives of his fight was to end homelessness in Cuba; however, 42 years after
triumphing, this same head of government is throwing Cuban families out of their
homes.
On the aforementioned date, Human Rights activists who went to the home from
where the family was evicted, once again became witnesses of the State terrorism
imposed on the people, whom only witnessed and commentated their disagreement in
whispers, for in order to maintain a monopoly of power the dictator has created
a system of repression in which severe and unscrupulous methods are used against
those that peacefully oppose it.

Harassment of independent unionist
(GUANTÁNAMO, CUBA, December 6, 2001) - Independent unionist, Manuel
Lantigua Domínguez, 42 years old, affiliated to the Unitarian Workers
Council of Cuba, is being victimized by the relentless pursuit and harassment of
the repressive system in Cuba.
On November 3rd, Lieutenant Iraelio Muñoz, Section Chief, whom under
orders from the Department of State Security, threatened to prosecute this
unionist and former-political prisoner for crimes against the State Security,
summoned Domínguez to Unit 4 of the National Revolutionary Police.
Lantigua Domínguez, labeled as a counter-revolutionary, is being
submitted to date, to an intensive vigilance by said official at the service of
the dictator, who goes daily to the house of the person in charge of the
vigilance of the Revolutionary Defense Committee to give information about this
unionist.
Manuel has maintained a non-conformist attitude with the totalitarian regime
of the dictator Fidel Castro, which has also caused him to suffer the severity
of Castro's prisons.

Home violations continue against oppositionist after publicly denouncing
18 years of torture at the hands of the Castro regime
(GUANTÁNAMO, CUBA, December 2001) - Peaceful oppositionist Jorge
Rafael Benítez Chuy, member of the Democratic Party November 30 "Frank
País", also member of the Prisoners and Former Prisoner's Club in
this city of Guantánamo, who denounced to the international community,
this past October 23rd, the 18 years of torture he suffered at the hand of the
Castro regime, after members of the political police endangered the life of his
pregnant wife and child, denounces that the persecution against him and his
family gets worse with each pasing day. His home was violated again, by
officer Mendoza, head of the political police in his sector who acts by orders
of the Security of the State (DSE).
In this occasion, the above-mentioned official forced his way into the home
of Benítez Chuy and he tried by force, to make the former political
prisoner sign a warning notice, but the peaceful oppositionist refused.
Benitez Chuy went on to say, " This flunky wanted to have a signed
record of his so called warning notice to present it as proof before a tribunal".
If signed, the peaceful oppositionist would have signed his own sentence, for
the simple reason of opposing the totalitarian regime of Fidel Castro and
expressing such views in public.
The oppositionist was then driven to the unit of the National Police (PNR)
and was charged with Contempt and Resistance to Authority, The threat and
harassments against Benitez Chuy by the head of the political Police of this
Sector are constant, to the point that recently members of the political police
forced their way into the oppositionist home without any search warrant, in
search of enemy propaganda or subversive materials. As an excuse, they charged
him with a "supposed" accusation for commercialization of coffee
(traffic).
The situation this oppositionist is living is not an easy one; the pressure
of a repressive system constantly harassing him and his family, without taking
into consideration the psychological danger to his pregnant wife is unbearable.
They are also blocking all means of subsistence with the objective of destroying
any means of support for his family.
