CAMAGUEY, January 23 (Normando Hernández, CPIC / www.cubanet.org) -
Ileana González Peña was fired from her job and stripped of
Communist Party membership due to her continuing friendship with dissident
Walfrido Velázquez Pupo.
González used to work in the basic services unit in the city of
Puerto Padre until the director of the unit called a meeting with the local
chapter of the Communist Party.
Participants at that meeting decided that González should be fired
and stripped of party membership for her association with Velázquez, a
human rights activist.
González has two young children.
