CUBA
Shop windows smashed overnight in apparent
protest in Cuba
HAVANA, Cuba, May 18 (María López,
Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org) - After
the government announced Monday night that
dollar stores in the island would curtail
their sales, someone smashed the display
windows of one such store in Guanabacoa's
main drag and painted anti-government slogans
on the walls.
Subsequently, police and Tech Investigations
Department officers searched several homes,
rounded up a number of people and took them
to the nearby Alamar police station.
Among those arrested was Daniel Dubergel,
a young anti-government activist. His mother
said Daniel was at home sleeping when the
windows were broken.
During the last few days, people have been
lining up in front of the dollar stores,
trying to buy all the soap, detergent, and
toothpaste they can afford or that the stores
will sell. The stores themselves have been
under police custody since the government
announcement Monday.
