CIEGO DE AVILA, Cuba, April 11(Abel Escobar Ramírez / www.cubanet.org) -
More than 100 people congregated outside the home of Apolinar Borroto,
63, president of the Cuban Foundation for Human Rights in the
municipality of Jatibonico in Sancti Spíritus province last week and
shouted pro-government slogans.
Independent journalist Luís Esteban Espinosa said the pro-government
protesters were led by Silvia Pérez Castañeda, president of the local
block committee.
Among the phrases shouted were "Down with Imperialism!" "Terrorist!" and
"Mercenary!"
Borroto's home was recently the site of an anti-government demonstration
marking the third anniversary of the arrest and sentencing of 75 dissidents.
