The Castro dictatorship fears leading anti-governent activist Jorge Luis Garcia Perez , better known as Antúnez. It even fears his name.

Nothing else can explain why two police officers are persecuting Yudeici Rondón Villavicencio for her decision to honor Antunez by naming her newborn son, Jorge Luis Antúnez. Police have blocked her from registering her baby's name, and on Oct. 15, two officers beat her at a Camaguey hospital as she held her son.

For her part, Rondón, who is a member of an opposition group headed by Antúnez's wife, insists it his her right to name her son whatever she wants.
