Human rights activist says young communist leader beat him up

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.
