Building inspector fines Cuban ex-political prisoner

HAVANA, Cuba, August 28 (www.cubanet.org) - An ex-political prisoner fined August 22 for building violations says he finds it odd that the fine comes on the heels of a workshop on civil disobedience he organized for a dissidents' group that meets in the city's Central Park.

The 300 peso fine was levied against Enry Saumell for construction of an illegal bath by inspector Roberto Herrera, who also threatened to have the improvement removed.

Saumell is the president of a dissident group and was jailed for more than six months in Valle Grande prison without ever going to trial.
