Castro Supporters Break Up March For Human Rights
By Associated Press | December 11, 2006
HAVANA — Dozens of government supporters broke up a silent march by a small group of dissidents marking International Human Rights Day yesterday, roughing up participants and calling them "mercenaries" and "worms."
It was not immediately known if there were any injuries that required medical attention.
Organized by dissident physician Darcy Ferrer, the demonstration involving less than a dozen government opponents in a public park in Havana's Vedado neighborhood was interrupted as soon as it began by burly men who surrounded and shoved the marchers.
