CUBAN STATE
SECURITY FORCES AND PARAMILITARY MOBS LAY IN SIEGE HOME OF BLIND LAWYER
AND HUMAN RIGHTS LEADER
Ciego de Avila, Cuba. March 19, 2007.
Cuban Foundation for Human Rights
SOS
My name is JUAN CARLOS GONZÁLEZ LEIVA. I am the president of the Cuban
Foundation for Human Rights. Since the afternoon of Friday, March 16, my
home remains surrounded by motorcycles and patrol cars of the Cuban
State Security and National Police forces, in addition to dozens of
paramilitary mobs of a low sort, known as Rapid Response Brigades.
On Monday, March 19 at 8:30 in the morning, as I left my home to
purchase groceries, I was prevented from doing so as I was physically
intimidated by members of these mobs. This same situation took place
once again at midday when I was saying goodbye to Taidy Emilia, the wife
of prisoner of conscience José Antonio Mola Porro.
I am unaware of the reasons why the Cuban government is doing this.
Maybe it’s because I was going to travel to Havana or it’s because we
published the Cuban Magazine Amanecer (Dawn). In any case, I hold the
Cuban government responsible for this provocation and any consequences
thereof.
My telephone has not been cut off yet ( + 53 33 222235) and my address
is: Calle Honorato del Castillo #154 entre República y Cuba in Ciego de
Ávila.
Juan Carlos González Leiva
President of the National Secretariat of the Cuban Foundation for Human
Rights
