Parents denied permission to see imprisoned son in Cuba

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, March 10 (www.cubanet.org) - The parents of imprisoned dissident Librado Linares García, who traveled from Havana to see their son for the first time in six months, were denied permission to do so on the grounds he was rejecting re-education efforts.

The Movimiento Cuba Reflexión, of which Linares is the general secretary, said he was refusing to attend all prison activities, salute the guards, stand up during the daily head count or wear prison garb.

When Linares' parents, accompanied by his wife and son, asked to see him on Feb. 27, the date scheduled for a regular visit, they were told they could not. Nor were they allowed to leave for him a package containing food and medicine.

Linares was sentenced last April to 20 years imprisonment.
