...director of the Ignacio Agramonte Independent Library. He earned his law degree (remarkably) while completely blind, but has been prohibited from practicing ever since the regime learned of his oppositionist activities. On March 4, 2002, he organized a peaceful protest outside the Ciego de Avila city hospital to express solidarity with an independent journalist, Jesús Alvarez Castillo, who had been brutally beaten by Cuban State Security. Along with his fellow demonstrators, he too was soon attacked by State Security and clubbed in the head so violently that it took several stitches to close the wound.

After Friday prayers earlier this month, they urged fans to eschew the usual raucous chants directed at their opponents ("We are ready to die, die," and "There's a beating waiting for you outside,") and instead express approval of the home side in more dignified and spiritual terms: Maasallah (May Allah preserve you), they suggested, or Baarek Allah (Blessed Allah). At a football match in Istanbul that weekend, fans welcomed the proposals, if not the spirit: "Blessed Allah" became Baarek Allah Belani Versin. Translation: may Allah give...
