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.
