Cuban olympic medalist given confiscated
dwelling
HAVANA, Cuba, May 5 (Roberto Santana Rodríguez
/ www.cubanet.org) - Cuban authorities have
given to Olympic silver medalist Yaneliys
Labrada Díaz a house taken from a
family that says it had purchased it for
US$5,000.
According to Lázaro Vidal, delegate
of the Frank País November 30 Democratic
Party, two housing inspectors backed by
police broke into the house of the Figueroa
family in Manzanillo and put all of their
possessions on their street April 29. That
same day, Labrada Díaz, runner-up
in the Tae Kwon Do event, moved in.
Alicia Figueroa yelled "Murders, abusers"
at the inspectors and policemen until she
and her husband and children were placed
in a police cruiser and taken to a shelter.
Delegate Vidal said the family had bought
the house from its legitimate owner but
that the transaction was illegal under existing
Cuban law.
