Cuban
teacher collecting signatures for Varela
project fired
HAVANA, Cuba, November 1 (www.cubanet.org)
- Valentín Cabrera, a physical education
teacher at the Enrique Galarraga middle
school, was fired after five years of service
for being engaged in collecting signatures
for the Varela project.
Cabrera said two officers of the Department
of State Security visited the school's principal,
Paulina Morejón, and told her he
is a counter revolutionary who belongs to
dissident groups and who is engaged in collecting
signatures for the Varela Project, an unconstitutional
document.
Cabrera, who had been working at the school
for five years, was arrested briefly March
18 when he happened to be at the home of
dissident Pedro Pablo Álvarez at
the time police came to arrest him and search
his home. At that time, Cabrera was taken
to the police unit on Zanja Street and released
the next morning.
