Ex-political prisoner threatened
HAVANA, March 25 (Amarilis Cortina Rey,
Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - Agents
of the Department of State Security threatened
ex-political prisoner Roberto Calimano with
a 20-year prison sentence for associating
with government opponents and independent
journalists.
Calimano said agents called him into the
police station in the La Víbora neighborhood
of Havana at the beginning of the month.
At the station, an officer who called himself
Frank told him, Calimano said, that for
him to express solidarity with the 75 dissidents
arrested in March last year was a crime
for which he could end up being sentenced
again.
Calimano, who once served a 15-year sentence
for anti-government activities, said: "...
they are in prison as I once was, and that's
why I'm joining their cause."
