SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba, December 1 (Guillermo Espinosa, APLO / www.cubanet.org) - Agents of the Rapid Response Brigades broke up a meeting this week to elect delegates to the Cuban chapter of the Latin American Federation of Rural Women, known as FLAMUR by its Spanish acronym.
According to Maura Iset González, delegate to FLAMUR from the municipality of San Luis, some 20 agents led by a captain named Plutón, set up loudspeakers at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday outside the site of the meeting to make discussion difficult.
She said some delegates from other provinces were detained by the police and forced to return home.
She said the husband of one participant, Ana Belkis, suffered a injury to his face in a scuffle with police.
The political police in the municipality of Bahía Honda in Pinar del Río province seized 44 pounds of medicine sent to Minerva Corbillón, provincial FLAMUR president. The shipment had been sent by FLAMUR supporters outside of Cuba and was destined for the needy in the area.
"It's an issue that has nothing to do with politics and is s gesture of human solidarity," said Corbillón.
