Imprisoned dissident says his trial was unfair

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 1 (Luís Cino, www.cubanet.org) -Joel Lázaro
Carbonell, president of the dissident Free Cubans organization, said
from his prison cell that he was given a one-year sentence at a trial
that ignored his rights.

"Once more injustice triumphs," he said in a letter smuggled out of the
Valle Grande prison. He said he wasn't allowed to make a statement in
his defense.

Carbonell, 33, was found guilty of "disobedience and resistance" in a
trial Sept 15, held four days after he was arrested in his home by
National Revolutionary Police.
