HAVANA, Cuba, April 22 (Dania Virgen García, www.cubanet.org) - Dissident Carmen Bermúdez Arrieta says her 25-year-old daughter has been sentenced to two years in an internment camp on a trumped up charge of prostitution.

\n\nShed said she arrived at court just as her daughter's sentence of two years in the Red Flag Camp in Güira de Melena was being read. She said the sentence was an \"injustice\" and probably a reprisal for her own militancy in the opposition Cuban Liberal Movement.
