June 29, 2005 REPRESSION AGAINST JOURNALISTS Paris.- The NGO Reporters Without Borders issued a communique denouncing the State Security harassment, intimidation and orchestrated blackmail against independent journalists Osmel Sánchez Lopez, Ernesto Roque and Ana Rosa Veitía, on 18 and 21 June 2005. "Once again Cuban journalists have been harassed because they want to do their jobs without interference," the organisation said. "Sudden summonses to the police station, threats of imprisonment and seizing of equipment are all part of a strategy to demoralise the independent press, 21 of whom are still in jail in appalling conditions. "When they are not actually detained, Cuban journalists operate in a kind of conditional freedom," it added. ACTIVISTS PROTEST INSIDE CASTRO's MISSION TO THE U.S. Washington.- A group of Cuban-Americans and friends infiltrated a gala hosted by the organization Pros in the City and the Cuban Interest Section at the former Embassy of Cuba in Washington DC this past Saturday evening. The group that penetrated the Cuban Mission was able to bypass the security apparatus of the Cuban regime even though all guests had to be cleared by a Cuban security team before entering the party. Among the group were key individuals who recently had spoken publicly in the Washington area about the violations of human, civic, political and labor rights inside Cuba. During the gala, the group distributed cards with photos of the Cuba enjoyed by tourists, contrasted with photos of the terrible conditions in Cuba and the sad reality of oppression and injustice. As security agents identified the participants, they were removed from the premises, some with force. Read the press release summarizing the event. (REST OF NEWS ARE PENDING
