Independent journalist suffers broken ankle
and bruises in attack
PINAR DEL RIO, Cuba - July 11 (Roberto
Estrella, Abdala Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Independent journalist Rafael Ferro Salas,
director of Abdala Press, says he was called
a "traitor" and hit with stones
last week during a power blackout.
Ferro Salas identified the stone thrower
as Inti Marrero, 38, the son of a retired
officer of the Revolutionary Armed Services.
The incident occurred outside a café
near where Ferro Salas lives.
"He said I was a traitor and a mercenary,"
said Ferro Salas. "If this wasn't enough,
when I left the place he started to throw
rocks at me. Everbody there protested but
he didn'tpay them any attention."
Ferro Salas suffered a broken ankle and
bruises to his chest, arms and legs.
