HAVANA, January 30 (Fara Armenteros, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - More than a
hundred neighbors of Nueva Gerona municipality, Isla de la Juventud, prevented
the eviction by local authorities of a eight months pregnant woman mother of a 2
years old boy.
Yaisbel Santos Peña was being evicted from the house she helped
built, when a crowd of concerned neighbors came out in defense of the woman and
her family. The eviction, called "extraction" by Cuban authorities,
was stopped for the moment, but many think it will be inevitable.
Reliable sources informed this agency that the civil employees are now
trying to convince the neighbors that the family is illegal and they should be "extracted"
from the property. Meanwhile people wonder what the government wants to do with
the house, and where they are going to lodge Peña and her family.
