Dissidents' children and wives harassed

CAIBARIÉN, Cuba - October 10 (María del a Caridad Noa, Villa Blanca Press / www.cubanet.org) - The wives and children of at least two dissidents who are in prison have been harassed and threatened by paramilitary mobs under the direction of government officials in Las Tunas, eastern Cuba.

Marlene González, the wife of Jorge Luis García Tanquero, sentenced to 20 years in April, 2003, said she had been threatened by the mob and that her neighbors have been warned not to let their children play with her daughter Melisa, 9. She said her neighbors were told she is a mercenary in the employ of the U. S. government who seeks to destabilize the Cuban people.

Yamilet Llanes, wife of José Luis García Paneque, said she had also been threatened and that her neighbors forbid their children from visiting her home under pressure from authorities.
