Teachers punished for maintain relationship
with dissident
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, November
2 (Guillermo Fariñas, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - A Communist Party
official ordered the public chastisement
of a school teacher who refused to leave
her husband, a government opponent and former
political prisoner.
Maipú Pérez Naranjo refused
to attend an October 14 meeting of teachers
of the Silvio Flietas school at which director
Osmayda Zacarías criticized her for
consorting with a dissident, her husband,
Guillermo Pérez Yera, provincial
delegate of the Pedro Luis Boitel Civic
Resistance Movement.
A fellow teacher and childhood friend,
Idalmis Rojas Aguilar, who went to the defense
of Pérez Naranjo, was later transferred
to a remote school for three years of "rehabilitation."
The meeting of teachers had been ordered
by the local Communist Party secretary,
named Maria Victoria, after she failed to
convince Pérez Naranjo to leave her
husband.
"My wife refused to be blackmailed,"
said Pérez Yera. "She does not
allow work issues to affect interfere with
family life."
