Dissident facing restrictions on telephone
calls
HAVANA, February 14 (Jorge Olivera Castillo
/ www.cubanet.org) - The wife of imprisoned
independent journalist Héctor Maseda
says that, as a condition for being allowed
to make more than 25 minutes of telephone
calls a week, he must reveal those he plans
to call and their telephone numbers.
His wife, Laura Pollán, says he
has refused to accept the conditions, which
will limit the contact he has with friends
and relatives.
The law stipulates that prisoners can make
25 minutes of calls per week.
Pollán says this is the first time
a condition has been placed on his calls
in the nearly three years he has been imprisoned.
A member of the Group of 75 arrested in
2003, he is serving a 20-year sentence.
