Reprisals against jailed dissidents feared
PLACETAS, Cuba - July 11 (María
Elena Alpízar Ariosa, Grupo Decoro
/ www.cubanet.org) - The launching of a
book by dissident Huber Matos has caused
Bertha Antúnez Pernet, president
of the National Civic Resistance Movement,
to fear for the safety of imprisoned relatives.
She said she feared reprisals against Jorge
Luis García Pérez and Omar
Pernet Hernández because of an exchange
on Dominican radio between Matos and the
head of the Cuban diplomatic mission in
Santo Domingo.
Matos' book, "Boitel Vive," recounts
human rights violations in Cuban prisons.
Such violations have been denounced by García
Pérez, who has spent more than 15
years imprisoned and is the brother of Antúnez
Pernet.
