HAVANA — A well-known Cuban dissident was in and out of police custody repeatedly in a cat-and- mouse game with authorities, who told him they will lock him up anytime he tries to gather in public with other government opponents.
Guillermo Farinas was first detained Wednesday afternoon in the central city of Santa Clara, only to be released that evening. Authorities picked him up again the next day, holding him until Friday morning. By the afternoon, he was back in police custody.
Farinas was freed yet again Friday evening, then taken to the hospital complaining of chest pain, according to Elizardo Sanchez, a leading human-rights activist.
