The forgotten
activist was released from the Guantanamo Prison.
(HAVANA/CUBA/December 3/Puenteinfocubamiami.org) -
Migdalia Hernández Enamorado, the 35 year old forgotten activist and a
member of the group of the 75 was released from the prison Combinado de
Guantánamo for women last November 12, 2004 ( date confirmed by
Plantados)- declared Ada Kaly Márquez Abascal, National Delegate in
Function of the Democratic Party November 30 "Frank País".
Agents of the State Security arrested Hernández Enamorado and her
husband Rafael Benitez Chui on March 19, 2003, when they protested the
regime's 2003 crackdown against the Cuban internal opposition in front
of the local police headquarters in Guantanamo. Immediately thereafter,
they were both sent to the prison Combinado de Guantánamo.
On September 18, 2003, Hernández Enamorado and Benitez Chui were tried
for the supposed crime of contempt and were sentenced to 2 and 4 years
in prison respectively.
Hernández Enamorado left three daughters under the care of her mother.
They are: Aurelis years old, Lissi 12 and Migdalia 10 years old.
Upon her mother's arrest, Aurelis denounced to the World that every
Sunday her small sisters would stand in front of the prison until the
guards allowed them to their mother from a distance for about 5 minutes.
She also pointed out that there were times when their mother was not
allowed to come out to the prison yard, those times her sisters stayed
outside the prison crying until nightfall.
Migdalia Hernández Enamorado, a mother of three girls, the youngest only
10 years old, is the forgotten activist of the group of the 75, for even
though her case has been properly documented as one of the two women
arrested in the 2003 crackdown against members of the Cuban Civil
Society, her name has seldom been mentioned in connection with said
group and very little was done in her case" - pointed out Daisy Gil
Ortiz, a Director of Net For Cuba International.
