Five teachers fired for not supporting constitutional measure

HAVANA, August 27 (Fara Armenteros, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Five teachers from the municipality of Manicaragua, in central Villa Clara province, have been fired for not subscribing to the recent government-sponsored measure to declare Socialism untouchable in the Cuban Constitution.

The five teachers are added to at least 160 others who have been fired for expressing opposition to the policies of the Cuban government.

A spokesman for the Manicaragua teachers said that while they were meeting in a private home, the house was surrounded by about 70 members of the Association of Former Combatants of the Cuban Revolution, a paramilitary group, who yelled slogans in support of the government and threatened those inside.
