Cuban dissident says his house was stoned

HAVANA, July 3 (Reuter) - Leading Cuban dissident Vladimiro Roca said on Thursday that state security force members threw stones at his house and broke two windows during the night.

Roca said another dissident who supports his opposition group, Odilia Collazo, was detained on Wednesday and had not yet been released.

Roca, one of four members of a small group called the ``Working Group of Internal Dissidence,'' told foreign reporters at his Havana home he thought these incidents were part of a campaign of repression by authorities against his group.

Roca showed reporters a hole in a glass pane of his front door and another in the windscreen of a car parked in the garden, and a fist-sized stone that broke one of the windows. He ruled out a suggestion that the attack might have been by thieves or vandals.

Roca's group, which says it has the support of 14 of Cuba's small dissident groups, last week gave a news conference to denounce a document the ruling Communist Party has issued for public discussion ahead of a party congress this October.

Collazo, the detained dissident, heads the ``support group'' for Roca's group. Roca said his own wife had been called in for questioning by state security agents on Thursday.

Roca added that two dissident colleagues of one of the Working Group's members, Martha Beatriz Roque, had their houses searched by state security officials on Wednesday and a computer was confiscated at one of the houses.

There was no word on the incidents from Cuban authorities, who rarely comment on the island's small and illegal dissident groups.
