    (HAVANA/CUBA/August 16/Puenteinfocubamiami.org) –
    At least five members of the National Executive of the Democratic Party 30 of November "Frank País" suffered
    in front of their homes on Monday, which were organized  by sympathizers of the Cuban regime, blocking off the  
    the entrance to their homes and no one was allowed to leave or enter the house, declared  Anaika Paneca Román
    in a  telephone interview with the Information Bridge Cuba Miami.

    Paneca Roman who is Vice President of Democratic Party 30 of November "Frank País", denounced that at dawn of
    the day in question a group of strangers congregated in front of her house launching a *pogrom, shouting that
    she was a worm at the service of the empire, they were threatening her and blocked off the entrance to her
    home and did not allow anyone to leave or enter the house.  A few members of her party fooled the mob and
    managed to enter the house and accompanied her throughout the terrible ordeal that lasted until late hours of the
    night.  A young man arrived in a show of solidarity and was brutally beaten by the mob and arrested by the
    political police.

    Anaika Paneca Roman is the wife of the opponent Frank García Llerena, a member of the executive of the P-D-30N
    until last year when he was forced to take to the sea  due to political persecution but was intercepted at sea, and is

    presently in a prison in the Bahamas waiting for a political asylum visa from a third country to avoid
    repatriation.  Anaika and Frank have a 7 year old daughter who cried inconsolably all through the infamous pogrom
    for she is a traumatized little girl has endured years of unjust harassments, abuses and the imprisonment of
    her parents, as a result  she is undergoing psychological treatment.

    According to Anaika,  parallel pogroms were being held in front of the homes of Raiza Martinez Llerena, Reinel
    Sánchez Calvo, Antonio Batista, Idalmis Balbuena Santos and Mirta Villanueva Almeida, all members of the National
    Executive of the Democratic Party 30 of November "Frank País".

    Subsequently, Information Bridge Cuba-Miami was able to make telephone contact with Mirta Villanueva Almeida,
    Secretary of the Feminine Front of Democratic Party 30 of November "Frank País", and mother of Camilo Perez
    Villanueva – a founding member of the Political Presidio Pedro Luis Boitel who recently was forced to leave the
    Island due to political persecution- and she pointed out that a pogrom was being held in front of her house ,
    there were around forty people, all of them older men and women, blocking her front door, shouting
    offensive words and threatening her.  They were blocking her front door and  did not allow any one to entered or
    leave the house.

    Mirtha recognized several of her neighbors amongst the harassing mob, she felt such indignation because her
    neighbors did not take into consideration that she is a sick 70 year old woman and that living with her is
    her pregnant granddaughter and two small children, one is 3 and the other 13 who were crying in terror,
    so she opened the front door, shouting at them said that no one was going intimidate her and proceeded
    to hang the Cuban Flag upside down outside her front door in protest, then she went back inside her home.

    Lastly, Villanueva informed us that they had to abort a meeting of the Democratic Party 30 of November
    "Frank País" programmed for that day in her home with the purpose of  officially presenting the newly elected
    National Executive Directive of the above mentioned  party.

    *Pogrom, is a Russian term for government officially organized mobs, to persecute, psychologically harass
    and physically abuse minority political opponents in  the streets and in their homes.
