Arrests frustrate dissidents' meeting

HAVANA, September 23 (Aleida Godínez Soler, Lux InfoPress) - Agents of the Department of State Security arrested a number of dissidents in Matanzas province the day before they were to hold a memorial for two political prisoners who died in jail under misterious circumstances.

The agents arrested labor organizers Sergio González Suárez Inclán, Iván Hernández Carrillo, Arnaldo Gutiérrez Lima, Juan Pedroso Esquivel, Ruperto Martínez Reyes, Ricardo López, and Félix Navarro Rodríguez on September 12. Hernández Carrillo has been nominated for the Reebok Human Rights prize.

Also arrested were a dozen other political dissidents. All were released after 18 hours.
