Seamstress in Cuba denied employment for
her religious beliefs
PINAR DEL RÍO, Cuba, January 5
(Rafael Ferro Salas, Abdala Press / www.cubanet.org)
A 29-year-old seamstress in Pinar del Río
said she was denied a job at a local sewing
shop on account of her religious beliefs.
"They said I was not trustworthy to
work there because I am a Jehovah's Witness,"
said Ismari de Armas, referring to administrators
of a State-owned sewing shop.
"That was the only explanation they
gave me," said de Armas. "I have
a 9-year-old daughter to feed."
