Dissidents stopped and told they were illegally in Havana

Dissidents stopped and told they were illegally in Havana

HAVANA, April 12 (Richard Roselló / www.cubanet.org) - Two dissidents
from Santiago de Cuba were stopped by police last week and told they
were in the capital illegally because they did not have transportation
documents authorizing their visit.

Ángel Leonardo Mora Baltasar and Jordanis Camacho Marcel told the police
that they were in the city to visit relatives.

"I came to see my sister who's going to be operated on." Mora Baltasar
said, while Camacho said he was going to visit a relative he had not
seen in a long time.

"That's not the way it works,' replied a police officer. "You have to
carry a transit document signed by the municipality where you live in
order to come to Havana from Santiago de Cuba."

Mora Baltazar and Camacho are members of the dissident National
Transition to Democracy Board.
