- Cuban Dissident Recovering from Attack
-
- Cuban dissident leader Elizardo Sanchez is recovering in a
- military hospital in Havana from a beating he received allegedly
- from Cuban police or revolutionary vigilantes on Dec. 10.
- According to Angel Padilla, the leader of the Puerto Rican
- chapter of the Cuban Committee for Human Rights and National
- Reconciliation, Sanchez "had bruises all over his body and his
- blood pressue was very high." The information was said to have
- come from unidentified sources in Cuba. On Dec. 14 the US-based
- human rights organization "Americas Watch" called for the release
- of Sanchez and 50 other dissident activists who are currently in
- Cuban prisons. Padilla said that Vladimiro Roca, another Cuban
- dissident, and son of the leader of the Cuban Communist Party,
- Blas Roca, asked the Socialist International to condemn the
- recent events and to separate itself even more from Castro's
- policies.
-
- Padilla said Roca issued a special call to Puertro Rican
- socialists to withdraw their support for the Cuban revolution
- following the events of Dec. 10. "He wants everybody's support,"
- added Padilla, "even from those who favor Castro." Sanchez, a
- professor of Marxism, has been opposed to Castro's policies for
- the past 25 years, and has spent nearly eight out of the past
- 11 years in prison. (edlp 12/14/92 form AP)
