Cuban dissident's widow rejects official account of death

CUBA: The widow of Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya rejected Saturday a government report that blamed the car crash that killed her husband and a fellow dissident on the vehicle's driver.

Ofelia Acevedo criticized the government for not giving her access to the two survivors of the crash, including the driver, who have been kept in custody since the July 22 incident in southeastern Cuba. "I reject this report because it is the official report of the government of Cuba and because I have not had access to this information that they say they have," she told AFP.
