Worker fired for advocating human rights in Cuba HAVANA,
Cuba, March 11 (Reinaldo Cosano Alén, Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org)-
Lázaro Oliva worked at the dental clinic for 15 days before he was fired
for belonging to a human rights advocacy group, the Partido Federalista de Cuba. "There
was a job open in administration," said Oliva. "I applied and got the
job. I showed I was able to do the job, but on February 14 the Communist Party
secretary, Marcelo Salabarría, called me in and told me they had received
word from State Security that I belong to an opposition group and that I once
tried to leave the country illegally, so he was rescinding my employment contract
because I'm a political conflict." "I couldn't even make a claim,
because the contract stipulates that it is subject to cancellation by any of the
parties at any time," said Oliva. Versión
