Santa Clara#Santa Clara, Cuba] Cuban dissident Marta Beatriz Roque has told the AFP news agency that prominent Cuban dissident Jorge Luis García Pérez has been arrested for civil disobedience.

Mr Garcia, better known as Antunez, was arrested outside his house in the town of Placetas after attending an opposition meeting.

He has been transferred to the provincial capital Santa Clara.

Antunez was released from jail last year after serving 17 years for distributing what the authorities call hostile propaganda.

Cuban dissident groups say that nearly 300 political prisoners are being held by the authorities.

if castro is not already dead, i hope when he dies that he knows exactly where he's going.

Heck...Jimmy Carter acts like Castro is the second coming.

Cuba has much better health care than we do.
