CUBA
Physical education professor fired for being
a pacifist
HOLGUÍN, Cuba, September 15 (Juan
Carlos Garcell, APLO / www.cubanet.org)
- Solenni Abad, a 29-year-old physical education
professor at the Instituto Pre Universitario
Antonio López Fernández, has
lost his job because he's a pacifist and
human rights advocate.
Abad said he was told September 8 that
he could no longer teach at the Instituto
in Moa, Holguín province, nor any
other school because his views were not
in line with those of the Cuban revolution.
Abad blamed his dismissal on militants
of the Communist Party, who he said also
prevented his sister, Zoraida, 26, from
studying at the Instituto.
"My sister and I live in a house that
falling apart," Abad said. "I
live in one part and she lives in another,
but she has nothing to do with my activities
nor how I think."
Abad is a member of the Oriental Democratic
Alliance, a human rights group.
