BRUTAL BEATING GIVEN TO HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS IN MAYARI, HOLGUIN PROVINCE
Thursday, 19 January 2006
Around midday, ELIECER CONSUEGRA RIVAS, of the Cuban Democracy Alliance, GUILLERMO LLANO RICARDO, of the Cuban Foundation of Human Rights and Secretary General of the Eastern Democratic Alliance, and JESUS ALEXANDER ALMAGUER PEREZ, independent journalist of the agency "Youth Without Censorship" were brutally attacked by paramilitary forces while they were headed to a hunger strike in Mayari, province of Holguin, to request in unity the cease of violence in Cuba.
In a terror-filled atmosphere, the three received death threats. They are full of hematomas from the kicks, slaps, and blows that they received from the paramilitary forces in front of a mob of 200 people which accused them of being counterevolucionaries who were going to place bombs. They ripped off the clothes of Eliecer Consuegra Rivas, who can barely breathe and suffered several fractures.
These defenders of human rights declared that they were not going to back down one bit in their fight for a Cuba free of injustices and violence.
