Cuban police arrest three who filmed
them beating a man in Havana's Central Park
HAVANA, March 25 (María López,
Lux Info Press) - Police arrested three
who filmed them as they beat a young man
in Havana's Central Park, and fined about
20 others who berated them as they beat
their handcuffed victim.
According to eyewitnesses, last Saturday
just before 5:00 p.m., a uniformed policeman
detained a young man who couldn't produce
papers when requested to do so. After a
plainclothes man joined them, the two started
beating the man. A crowd quickly surrounded
them, calling them abusive. In short order,
a virtual fleet of police cars and patrolmen
responded. They helped take the original
prisoner away in a van and disperse the
crowd, not before also taking in the three
who had been filming and issuing 100-peso
fines to about 20 in the crowd.
