Havana, Cuba, Dec 8, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The Cubanet news agency denounced the Cuban government this week for threatening a leading Cuban dissident for attempting to help family members of political prisoners.
Julio Cesar Bermudez Quintero was threatened in his home on November 30 by a government official for giving a ride to the family members of political prisoner Luis Enrique Ferrer Garcia, who wanted to visit him in prison.
Bermudez Quintero, member of the Christian Democratic Movement of Cuba, stated, “As a member of the opposition and a Christian it is my duty (to help), and whenever they need it I will do it again.”
