PRO-LIFE DOCTOR AND FAMILY ATTACKED

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov 9 (LSN) Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet Gonzalez, one of Cuba's foremost pro-life activists, has, over the past several months, been the victim of frequent attacks by vandals believed to be associated with the Cuban secret police. In order to protect his wife and son, the founder of the Lawton Foundation for Human Rights, sent them to live with an elderly lady in Havana. But on Halloween night the house where Gonzalez's wife and her son were staying was attacked by a gang of ruffians who smashed windows, destroyed locks with acid, and spray painted the house with graffiti including a sign saying "traitor."

Catholic World News notes that an underground paper in Cuba described the attack as "another indirect act of hostility by the secret police" against Gonzalez. The incident was called the latest in "a long list of indirect aggressions suffered in recent months by his wife, Elsa Morejon Hernandez, and his son."
