HAVANA, October 8 (UPECI) - An undetermined number of people launched a
concerted attack against the homes of independent journalist Víctor
Rolando Arroyo and his mother at approximately 2:00 a.m. October 6 in Pinar del
Río, Cuba.
The attackers threw bottles at the homes, causing unspecified damages. The
next day, flyers were spread around the vicinity, which read: "Citizens,
neighbors, beware of this traitor and whistle-blower, Víctor Rolando
Arroyo, your neighbor. Very soon our movement of justice and liberation will
make him pay dearly for the damage he has caused."
Arroyo and his family called police, who showed up to investigate 14 hours
after the attacks.
"In Cuba, only those who feel protected, who are assured that their
actions will not have consequences for them, can carry out this type of attack,"
said Arroyo.
