Returned rafter feels harassed

SANTA CLARA, June 23 (www.cubanet.org) - Anti-government activist and returned rafter Armando Veitía says the Cuban government has repeatedly threatened to annul the license with which he earns a living.

Veitía says June 19 he was accused of "possession of trade materials without legal justification" and fined 200 pesos. At the same time, he was threatened with the loss of his self-employment license. Veitía has a one-man bicycle repair shop in Santa Clara.

Veitía was returned to Cuba May 19 by U. S. authorities after a failed attempt to reach the Florida coast. Since that time, he says, he has been harassed by Cuban authorities.
