PINAR DEL RIO, May 15 (Víctor Rolando Arroyo, UPECI /
www.cubanet.org) - A man was arrested and fined May 7 in the town of Manuel
Lazo, Pinar del Río province, after police searched his home and found 28
fish and two bags of meat in his refrigerator.
Manuel Torres Izquierdo told police that he has a fishing license, and that
the meat in the bags was pork that belonged to a neighbor named Marisol. Police
nevertheless booked Torres and Marisol at the local station.
Later that same day, police and fisheries inspectors returned to Torres’
home and tried to confiscate the refrigerator. Protests at the site by Torres’
wife and neighbors dissuaded them.
At the end of the day, Torres and Marisol were freed. Police fined Torres
1,000 pesos and told him he could appeal the legitimacy of the fine.
Both Torres and Marisol were told by local police chief Luis Félix Ríos
that he would keep them under surveillance.
