HAVANA, June 12 (www.cubanet.org) - Five independent journalists in Morón,
Ciego de Ávila province, were summoned June 10 by a captain Zamora of the
Department of State Security, who told them "the dissident movement must
die now" and warned them to stop practicing journalism, according to one of
the journalists, Tico Morales, who works with the APLA agency.
"They want to shut down APLA and they are trying to intimidate us all,
but the greatest pressure has been put on the agency's director, José
Manuel Caraballo. They picked him up in an official car and took him in for
interrogation. They want us to sign a document, committing to abandon
independent journalism, but we refused. They also threatened me with the loss of
my job at a store," said Morales.
Two of the journalists, Jesús Álvarez and Abel Escobar, of the
CubaPress agency, were taken to the provincial capital city to be charged.
