Cuban
political police threaten government opponent
HAVANA, August 20 (www.cubanet.org) - Political
police in the Isle of Youth threatened to prevent
government opponent and human rights activist
Huber Rodríguez from leaving the island
to be with his young son when he has surgery in
the U. S.
Specifically, officials said they would not issue
Rodríguez an exit visa if he continued
his activities. U. S. consular officials have
already issued Rodríguez a visa so that
he can be by his son during surgery and recovery.
Rodríguez is the president of the Human
Rights Committee in the Isle of Youth, and every
Wednesday he holds a vigil at home, in which several
dissidents light candles and pray for the release
of political prisoners.
Rodríguez has been detained and questioned
several times before on account of his activities.
