Religious
march broken up in Cuba
Havana, Sept. 11 (www.cubanet.org) - A march
by 17 dissidents to the shrine of the patron saint
of Cuba, the Virgin of Charity, was broken up
several miles from the religious site at El Cobre,
according to one of the participants.
Juan Carlos Cardenas Isaac, president of the
Cuba Civic Movement for Democracy, said the march
was stopped at 5:25 a.m. on Sept. 8 by members
of the political police and the paramilitary.
"We were shoved, handcuffed and thrown to
the ground," he said. "We were taken
to a school near the Ambrosio Hospital and later
to the police station in El Cobre where we were
freed," he said.
He said some tourists took photographs of the
incident.
