Fine levied in Cuba against owner of
home-made satellite dish
HAVANA, January 16 (www.cubanet.org) -
Police seized a home-made satellite television
dish this week and fined the owner 1,000
pesos, more than the equivalent of four
months' salary.
Neighbors in Havana's 10 de Octubre district
said two police agents dressed in civilian
clothes and a member of the block's Committee
for the Defense of the Revolution warned
the owner: "This is the first time.
If you do it again, the penalty will be
more severe."
Similar incidents have been reported in
other parts of Cuba as the government tries
to prevent citizens from capturing foreign
television signals.
