Havana, Cuba, Dec 13, 2010 / 15:51 pm
The coordinator of the Christian Liberation Movement, Oswaldo Paya, has denounced the Cuban government for detaining two dissidents late last week.
In a Dec. 10 statement, Paya stated that both José Ramón Remedio Rojas and Reinaldo Cruz Velásquez were violently detained Dec. 9 by state security agents. Both dissidents were working to promote the Heredia Project in the province of Las Tunas.
The Heredia Project aims to recover the rights of Cubans to travel freely within the country as well as abroad.
Rojas was detained while buying milk rations for his elderly mother, while Velasquez was detained at a bus stop. Their whereabouts are unknown.
