Art student expelled for anti-government poster

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, May 24 (Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - Officials at the Art Teachers' School in Villa Clara expelled a 16-year-old student for producing a poster in which could be read in big, bold letters, Down with Fidel. Observers say the whole affair has been handled very quietly.

First-year student Yasmani Oliva presumably acknowledged that he had drawn the poster at the school. Officials handed him over to his mother, to take him home until he is summoned to a minors' reeducation center.

The Art Teachers' School has approximately 2,000 students in Music, Dance, Theater, and Painting and Sculpture. Admission is said to be very selective.
