Cuban government supporters break up march, rough up dissidents
HAVANA In Cuba, dozens of government supporters broke up a silent march
by a small group of dissidents marking International Human Rights Day on
Sunday.
The loyalists roughed up participants and accused them of being
mercenaries of the U-S government.
A second opposition march by wives of political prisoners took place
without incident.
The first demonstration involved fewer than a dozen people in a public
park in Havana's Vedado neighborhood. It was interrupted as soon as it
began by burly men who surrounded and pushed protesters.
The Cuban government frequently accuses dissidents of working with U-S
officials to undermine the island's system. That charge has been denied
by the dissidents and Washington.
