PINAR DEL RÍO, November 11 (Víctor Rolando Arroyo, UPECI /
www.cubanet.org) - Upwards of 200 neighbors drove away, under a hail of stones,
the government officials who tried to evict a family of four from their home in
a rural community on the road to Luis Lazo.
The officials had meant to evict Daniel Marino, his wife Daisy Pérez,
and their three- and eleven-year-old sons from the house in which they have
lived for the past six years.
One resident, Rolando Lazo, said that what irked the crowd was the violence
employed by the officials.
Other eyewitnesses said the crowd became irate when officials dragged Pérez
and handcuffed her to the inside of a bus they had brought to facilitate the
eviction.
Residents identified the officials in charge of the operation as municipal
prosecutor Mario Laviña, and the head of the legal department of the
Housing Authority, Carlos Villate.
Authorities are charging Marino with illegal occupancy, but Leonardo
Costales, a lawyer with the Unitary Council of Cuban Workers, a non-governmental
organization, said there are documents that legalize the family's presence in
the house.
