Unannounced curfew imposed in some parts
of Havana
HAVANA, December 22 (Guillermo
Fariñas, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - The National Revolutionary
Police have been imposing an unannounced
midnight curfew in some sections of the
capital, apparently because of a recent
increase in crime.
This reporter witnessed so-called "gray
beret" agents transported on trucks
warning citizens not to be outside their
homes after midnight.
The agents could be seen asking identification
documents, especially from those under 25.
Any of those stopped who have criminal backgrounds
are arrested.
The most affected areas are Central Havana,
Old Havana, Cerro, Arroyo Naranjo, 10 de
Octubre and Plaza of the Revolution.
Some residents say the curfew was triggered
by the discovery of the bodies of two foreign
tourists and a prostitute in late November.
