Police
shut down independent library in Cuba
HAVANA, September 24 (www.cubanet.org) - The
Cuban political police searched the home of dissident
Lorenzo García in Holguín Tuesday,
confiscating more than 250 books from an independent
lending library García operated there.
García pointed out the police didn't show
a court order for the search.
García said Captain Enrique Fornaris and
officers Julio César Borrego and Pablo
Guerrero searched his home for three hours.
"They confiscated more than 250 books, as
well as two typewriters," said García
by telephone. "The library is no more."
García is the president of the Claridad
Human Rights movement, and operated the Félix
Varela library out of the home.
After finishing the search, police left a watch
in front of the building where García lives.
The dissident said they follow him everywhere,
even to church.
