Government supporters taking repressive measures against dissidents

SANTA CLARA, Cuba - August 18 (Niurvys Díaz Redmond, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - Members of the Democratic Christian Movement of Cuba in Santa Clara say supporters of the government have been taking repressive actions against them.

Roberto Carlos Pérez García, national coordinator of the organization, and Fidel Rodríguez García, a neighbor, were surrounded by government supporters who shouted "Terrorists!" and "Mercenaries!" at them.

Member Freddy Martín Fraga said he was shoved by a member of Power Power when he took his infant daughter to a day-care center. "The man told me that I was forbidden to leave my home," Fraga said.

A member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces told his wife to stop caring for the daughter of independent journalist Karel Castillo.

Julio Marrero, a movement member, said some 30 members of the Communist Party congregated outside his house and shouted, "Fatty, come out of your house! We're going to kill you!"

An advisor to the movement, Guillermo Fariñas Hernández, was shoved by a member of the Communist Party while he was talking to a neighbor in front of his house.
