Swiss
tourists robbed in downtown Havana
HAVANA, December 11 (www.cubanet.org)
- Two Swiss tourists were robbed in broad
daylight this week after coming out of a
session of the Latin American Film Festival.
Guillaume Pelletier and Catheline Dubois,
both professors at the University of Berne,
had come to Cuba to meet with wives of imprisoned
dissidents.
The pair said that two men, who appeared
to be around 20, stole their jewelry, passports
and money while they walked on La Rampa,
a main down street. They were taken to police
headquarters to make a report.
"If there is violence and juvenile
delinquency, then the authorities are responsible
for seeing that tourists are protected,"
Dubois said. "I'm not leaving here
until I'm recompensed for what I've lost."
