Doctor robbed after serving abroad

CAMAGÜEY, February 13 (Normando Hernández, CPIC / www.cubanet.org) - A physician returning to Cuba after serving abroad had all his belongings stolen before he made it home.

Dr. David Arias Díaz, 31, estimated his loss at 30,000 pesos. "The hard work of two years turned to salt and water," he said. "I was robbed at Céspedes crossing, in Camagüey province. This sort of thing happens frequently there."

Dr. Arias had been working in Honduras for two years under the Cuban government's internationalist brigades program.

At the time of the incident, police promised him they would shortly have positive results as to the culprits and the stolen goods. "However," said Arias, "the days have gone by and nothing has been found. They only say they have information."
