Thirty evangelical pastors arrested

Thirty evangelical pastors arrested

HAVANA, Cuba, June 8 (Juan Carlos González / www.cubanet.org) – Thirty
evangelical pastors were arrested last week by State Security agents and
members of the National Police in Santa Cruz del Sur, Camagüey,
preventing them from holding a convention.

Several of the pastors called the dissident Council of Human Rights of
Cuba, asking that news of the arrests be made known.

"The world should know that the Cuban government continues to pursue
Christians," said Bernardo de Quesada Salomón, leader of the group. "The
only thing we're doing is getting together 200 pastors to praise God."

De Quesada Salomón has been arrested several times.
