Cuban dissidents denounce government harasment

Cuba's Communist government continues to harass critics who publicly express their discontent on the streets even as it releases some political prisoners, Cuban dissidents said on Wednesday.

The number of temporary detention of dissidents and incidents where they are harassed by groups of government supporters is on the rise, dissidents and diplomats said.

"Daily repression appears harsher than ever. There have been more incidents reported since the releases began," said a European diplomat. "The releases do not signal a change in the government's repressive policies."
