Independent journalist's wife fired
RANCHUELO, Cuba - February 13 (Félix
Reyes Gutiérrez, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - The wife of an
independent journalist was fired from her
job after being declared "politically
unreliable."
Yolanda Álvarez, the wife of independent
journalist Alejandro Tur, worked as an attendant
in the bathrooms of "El Rápido"
shopping center in Cienfuegos. The shopping
center is owned and operated by the government
under its corporate entity CIMEX.
According to Álvarez, the center's
manager, a woman she only identified as
Majela, told her that an investigation had
revealed that she did not belong to any
of the government's "mass organizations"
and that her husband is a "well-known
counter revolutionary.
Her husband said the whole episode was
"nothing more than a maneuver by State
Security to try to stop my activities in
journalism."
