FROM
CUBA
Varela Project activist and brother of Cubs
shortstop arrested
HAVANA, October 31 (Adrián Leiva
/ www.cubanet.org) - Daniel Ordóñez
Pereira, activist of the Varela Project
and brother of Chicago Cubs shortstop Reynoldo
Ordóñez, was arrested last
week.
Ordóñez Pereira said no explanation
was given for his arrest, which took place
in his home October 24. He was taken away
in a police cruiser for questioning at a
regional police station and released later
in the day.
For Ordóñez Pereira, a member
of the Christian Liberation Movement, this
was the latest in a series of harassments.
Last year he was denied access to a domino
club where he used to play. He attributed
this to his brother's defection to the United
States from Cuba's national team.
Another brother, Juan Carlos, was stabbed
the day after Christmas during an altercation.
