-
- Dec. 14 the US-based human rights organization Americas Watch
- asked for the immediate release of Cuban opposition activist
- Elisardo Sanchez and Rodolfo Gonzales, along with 50 others who
- are considered [by Americas Watch] to be political prisoners. The

- attacks allegedly orchestrated by Cuban authorities as well as
- what they termed the arbitrary arrest of human rights workers.

- According to Americas Watch, Sanchez, of the Cuban Commission on
- Human Rights and National Reconciliation (CCDHRN) was beaten and
- arrested on Dec. 20 by security forces. They said Sanchez remained
- "almost unconscious" as a result of the beating he received and
- was hospitalized in the military hospital "Carlos H. Finlay" in
- Havana, Cuba.
-
- Americas Watch said that Rodolfo Gonzaelz, a member of the Cuban
- Committee for Human Rigths (CCPDH) was also arrested, although
- they say they do not know his whereabouts. Others who were
- allegedly attacked were Gustavo Arcos, Jesus Yanes Pelletier and
- Aida Valdes Santana. (edlp 12/15/92 from EFE)
