Updated, Feb. 4, 2011 -- Activist Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia reports via Twitter that Miguel Rafael Cabrera on Friday was released from jail. He faces a pending charge of "public disorder."
Anti-Castro activist Miguel Rafael Cabrera Montoya has started a hunger strike in a Cuban jail to protest his arrest and a false accusation that he committed a robbery in Havana last October, according to Martinoticas.com.
Cabrera commiting a robbery would be quite the trick, considering that in October he was in jail after he was arrested because of anti-government activities. Nevertheless, Cabrera, who lives in Santiago de Cuba, hasn't visited Havana in more than two years.
It's all a farce, of course, because one of the regime's favorite tactics against the opposition is to accuse them of some "common" crime to justify arresting and jailing them. That the regime can't get its facts straight show a big a joke, and injustice, it really is.
Cabrera, who is considered to be an effective activist, when he caught two people trying paint over an anti-Castro sign on the front of his home, according to Martinoticas.com.
Cabrera now has responded with the only weapon available to him: With his life.
