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.
