Mother
of Cuban political prisoner threatened
HAVANA, Sept. 22 (www.cubanet.org) - The mother
of political prisoner Arturo Sanchez says the
State Security Ministry threatened to transfer
her son to a remote prison if she continued her
human rights activities.
Isabel Ramos, who belongs to the Leonardo Perez
Mothers' Committee, said she was told to stop
participating with other mothers and wives of
political prisoners at Sunday mass at the Santa
Rita church, where they go dressed in white.
Sanchez has spent more time in prison than any
other current political prisoner, 16 years of
a 30-year sentence.
