MATANZAS, September 25 (Caridad Díaz Beltrán, Lux InfoPress) - The municipal director of the agricultural market in Colón, in Matanzas province, fired the manager of the bus-station cafeteria there 24 hours after he was returned to Cuba.

The fired employee, Javier Fariñas, tried to leave Cuba by sea and was returned in accordance to the migratory accords signed between the United States and Cuba.

The director told Fariñas he "was fired for trying to leave the country illegally" and instructed him to stop by personnel and pick up his papers.

Fariñas, along with 12 others, was intercepted in the Straits of Florida by the U. S. Coast Guard and returned to the island.
