Cuba : Wake Held for Dissident Miguel Valdés Tamayo

A wake was held Miguel Valdés Tamayo, a Cuban dissdent, in La Habana today. Valdés Tamayo had been incarcerated, with a sentence of 15 years, in 2003 and was released after a year because of ill health. He died of a heart attack on Wednesday.

"Vamos a hacerle una guardia de honor, junto a sus compañeros de causa", explicó a la AP Laura Pollán, una de las llamadas Damas de Blanco, esposas de los disidentes presos que suelen marchar pidiendo la libertad de sus maridos.

He was one of 75 anti-Castro activists who were imprisoned in 2003.
