A woman and her two minor children evicted in Santiago de Cuba

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 3 (Luis Alberto Rivera, APLO) - Dr. Susana Fong Reyes and her two children, ages 2 and 3, were forcibly evicted March 31 from the home they inherited from relatives living in the United States.

Dr. Fong was cooking a pot full of beans when officers of the National Police and officials of the Municipal Housing Authority rushed into the house. Prior to evicting the family, the officials took inventory, in which they included the pot with the beans.

Present at the eviction were a truck-full of policemen, who cordoned off the house, two patrol cars and several members of the Department of State Security.

Dr. Fong and her children inherited the house from the children’s grandparents. Both children were born there. The Municipal Housing Authority declared the Fongs to be occupying the house illegally, even though Dr. Fong’s documents show her to be the legal occupant of the house.

Dr. Fong is an anaesthesiologist and a specialist in intensive therapy at the

"Saturnino Lora" hospital in the city.
