Police keep campaign against on self-employed
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, November 5 (Alejandro
Tur Valladares, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - Police continue a campaign
against self-employed operators in Cienfuegos,
arresting any they find and confiscating
their wares.
William Morales, of the Tulipán
district, was arrested October 27 in a raid
by at least 10 government agents. The equipment
and supplies he had for making sausages
were all confiscated. He was fined and freed.
Reinaldo Tapia lost over 20 bottles of
rum, and was fined 600 pesos October 28.
"My father is bedridden and I have
to resell the product I obtain illegally
to provide for my family," said Tapia.
People here say the raids have netted dozens
in similar circumstances, and that they
are expected to continue for another week
at least.
