HAVANA, August 23 (José Antonio
Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- René Montes de Oca, president of
the Pro Human Rights Party of Cuba, says
Hassán Pérez Casabón,
second secretary of the Union of Young Communists,
kicked him in the head as he lay defenseless
on the ground.
Montes de Oca has been held in custody
since July 13 as a result of arrests carried
out of those who were commemorating the
sinking of the tugboat "13 de Marzo."
The incident with Communist leader occurred
when a pro-government crowd attacked Montes
de Oca and others who were at the ceremony.
Montes de Oca is among dissidents being
held pending charges of public disorder.
