Offer of conjugal visit outweighs participation in a political rally

HAVANA, March 17 (www.cubanet.org) - Masiel Gutiérrez planned to participate in a rally for prisoners of conscience until she was advised of an unscheduled conjugal visit with her imprisoned husband, Rolando Jiménez Posada..

"It looks like the news [of the rally] came to the attention of the political police and, since I was one of the organizers, they manipulated me through the subtle means of a conjugal visit," Gutiérrez said.

When she showed up at the El Guayabo prison, she told her husband what had happened. "They set a trap for you," he exclaimed.

Jiménez Posada is a lawyer and human rights activist.

The rally went on as planned, but in a private house instead of in public.
