Four men attack dissident who suffers cut
hand in attack in his home
HAVANA, Cuba, March 22 (José Antonio
Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- Four men, allegedly led by the first secretary
of a local branch of the Communist Party,
forced their way into the home of dissident
medical doctor Darsi Ferrer and beat him
up.
Ferrer, who represents the Juan Bruno Zayas
Health and Human Rights Center, showed his
right hand, which he said suffered a inch-long
gash from a knife wielded by one of the
intruders.
"They beat me as soon as they arrived,"
Ferrer said in an interview. "They
wanted to destroy the photos of political
prisoners that I have on the wall. I suffered
the cut hand when I defended myself."
Ferrer told of the attack during a meeting
at his home this week to honor six imprisoned
medical doctors: Marcelo Cano Rodríguez,
Oscar Elías Biscet González,
Luis Milián Fernández, José
Luis García Paneque, Alfredo Pulido
López and Ricardo Silva Gual. At
least 20 persons, between members of the
opposition and independent journalists,
were on hand for the homage.
'The intruders grabbed me by the neck and
told me they were going to kill me,"
Ferrer said. "After what happened,
I fear I could be killed at any moment."
The Juan Bruno Zayas Health and Human Rights
Center is a new dissident organization.
