Officials
threaten to take infant daughter of jailed Cuban
opposition prisoner
Havana, Sept. 11 (www.cubanet.org) - The wife
of a jailed opposition member says two state security
officials threatened to remove her three months
old daughter, born while her husband, Luis Enrique
Ferrer Garcia, was in prison.
Milka Peña, 31, said the incident occurred
September 5 when she answered a summons to appear
at the police station in Puerto Padre, where she
lives. She said that, besides threatening to remove
her child, the pair said they could prohibit her
from receiving money transfers from abroad via
Western Union.
No reasons were given for the threats, but it
was assumed Peña was called in because
of a sign on her house calling for the release
of political prisoners.
Ferrer Garcia, a member of the Christian Liberation
Movement, was sentenced to 28 years imprisonment
in March.
