Home of independent union leader raided by security agents

HAVANA, August 23 (Ariel Delgado Covarrubias / www.cubanet.org) - State security agents on Saturday raided the apartment of Maybell Padilla, assistant secretary general of the dissident Unitarian Council of Cuban Workers.

Two agents seized a fax machine, documents, foreign newspapers and some money from the apartment.

Padilla was taken to the police station where she was warned that charges could be leveled against her in the future.

Padilla has been running the union since the arrest in 2003 of Pedro Pablo Álvarez Ramos, currently serving a 25-year prison sentence.
