FROM CUBA
Government opponent expelled from Havana

HAVANA, March 25 (Gilberto Figueredo, Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org) - Agents of the Department of State Security expelled Ada Kaly Márquez, a known anti-government activist, from Havana, putting her on a train to her native Guantánamo.

Márquez is the acting national coordinator of the November 30th Democratic Party, an organization without legal standing in Cuba since the government doesn't recognize any political organization other than the Communist Party.

Márquez had been "spoken to" before by the agents, who threatened to imprison her if she went to a Mass in support of the 75 dissidents and journalists arrested starting March 18 last year.

In the last few days agents called her in to the police station in San Miguel del Padrón municipality, in Havana, took away her ID card and sent her to the train station, where they put her on a train headed east to Guantánamo, at the other end of the island.
