Dissident begins one-year sentence for hoarding HOLGUÍN, Cuba, Nov. 9
(José Ramón Pupo Nieves, www.cubanet.org) – Dissident Fidel García
Roldán started to serve a one year sentence last week after being found
guilty on charges of hoarding. García Roldán has served more than four
years in prison on earlier convictions related to his opposition to the
government. "This is nothing more than a dirty maneuver by the political
police, using false trials to get rid of men and women who've decided to
fight their lies," said García Roldán before entering the Típico Prison
in Las Tunas Nov. 3.
