Oscar Elías Biscet accused of insulting
Fidel Castro
HAVANA, Jan. 26 (www.cubanet.org) - The
wife of dissident Oscar Elías Biscet
González says her husband, currently
serving a 25-year prison sentence, has been
accused of insulting Fidel Castro.
According to Elsa Morejón Hernández,
prison official Ramón Beune said
Biscet joined other prisoners in shouting
"Down with the Castro-Communist dictatorship"
during a recent act of civil disobedience
at the Kilo 8 prison in Pinar del Rio. He
said charges were pending against Biscet,
president of the Lawton Human Rights Foundation.
His wife said he continues to ref use to
wear a prison uniform or to stand up when
a count of prisoners is conducted.
Biscet was sentenced in April following
the arrest of 75 dissidents accused of acts
against the government. He was removed January
15 from two months of solitary confinement
and taken to a cell he shares with 12 common
criminals.
