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.
