Independent journalists demand liberty for
jailed colleague
HAVANA, August 22 (www.cubanet.org) -
Colleagues of Oscar Mario González
Pérez, an independent journalist
held by police for the past month, have
issued a public appeal for his release.
"The world should not allow Cuba to
continue jailing journalists just because
they are journalists," said a public
statement.
"If this man is condemned to prison,
as occurred with other colleagues in 2003,
the number of journalists serving long sentences
in Cuba will be increased to 22," the
statement said.
Those signing were Amarilis C. Rey, Tania
Díaz Castro, Ernesto Roque, Juan
González Febles, Beatriz del Carmen
Pedroso, Ana Rosa Veitía, and Julio
César Gálvez Rodríguez.
