Israel Cuarta Labrada, Cuban Political Prisoner of the Week, 3/7/10

Carcelcuba

Cuban human rights activist Israel Cuarta Labrada in June 2007 was sentenced to 4 years in the Castro gulag on charges of "disrespect" and "attacking" — two of the regime's favorite charges it uses to try to silence its opposition.

A member of the February 24 Human Rights Movement, Cuarta was arrested and convicted in a Havana-area court after protesting the Castro dictatorship and clashing with police, according to a report posted at Payo Libre.
