Havana, Cuba, Aug 24, 2010 / 16:03 pm
Last Sunday, Reina Luisa Tamayo, the mother of deceased political prisoner Orlando Zapata Tamayo, thanked the Church in Cuba for its efforts in ending the harassment she had been suffering at the hands of the country's government.
Tamayo's son died in February after an 85 day-long hunger strike.
Speaking with the AFP, Tamayo said, “I thank the world and the Cuban Church who raised their voices to reject the harassment of this mother.”
She said she was able to march through the town of Banes on Sunday and place flowers on her son’s grave without any problems. “Lord willing this will be the end of the harassment,” she added.
