HOLGUÍN, March 26 (Juan Carlos Garcell, APLO / www.cubanet.org) - Flérida
Franco, 43, and her three sons, 17, 13, and 4, were evicted from an abandoned
clinic where they had been living since June, 2002, when their house fell down
during a rain storm.
"The house, if that's what you want to call it, almost fell on us. We
went looking for help, and some of the neighbors were able to save some of our
possessions," said Franco. "Later, the government put us up in the
abandoned clinic."
"On March 21, a group composed of police, a lawyer from the Public
Health ministry named Marcia, several officials from the Housing Authority,
Communist Party militants, and an ambulance with several doctors, came up to the
clinic and started throwing my things on the street. Later they loaded them on a
truck and took everything to my mother's house, in Moa."
According to Franco, her three children are sick. The oldest is mentally
unbalanced, the middle one has allergies, and the youngest is malnourished. He
has been assigned a special diet, but he is not getting it, says Franco.
