Appearance of anti-government signs sparks
repression
PALMA SORIANO, Cuba, March 30 (Virgilio
Delat La O, APLO / www.cubanet.org) - The
recent appearance of anti-government signs
here in Palma Soriano and in the towns of
Palmarito, Mella, San Luís , Alto
Songo, La Maya and the city of Santiago
de Cuba has brought a wave of repression
against dissidents.
Anilla López, president of a block
committee in Palma Soriano, last week publicly
blamed dissident Orlando Pérez Aguilera
for signs saying "Down with Fidel"
and "Freedom for the 75" that
appeared in town. Pérez Aguilera
was physically threatened.
Last week in the municipality of Mella
members of the National Revolutionary Police
broke into the home of dissident Yunier
Santos de la Cruz. The agents said they
were looking for paint and paint brushes
used to make anti-government posters.
During the search, they took a shortwave
radio and literature from the European Union.
Santos de la Cruz was taken to Santiago
where he was told he could be helped if
he agreed to be a government informant.
He was held for three days.
