Cuban Catch 22
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, November 12 (Alejandro
Tur Valladares, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - Ciro Erelio Díaz
Hernández, a mechanical engineer
who was fired two years ago when he tried
to leave Cuba illegally, now finds himself
being picked up by police because he's unemployed.
Díaz Hernández says that
Lieut. Eldys García Mederos of the
police department has on repeated occasions
questioned him about his unemployed state
and told him to find a job. Last month he
was brought before five officials and told
he could be charged under the Danger Law
if he continued to be unemployed.
Díaz Hernández was fired
from his job at the Camilo Cienfuegos oil
refinery after being caught trying to flee
the country without an exit visa. He says
he's been unable to find a job because his
employment record now lists him as being
"untrustworthy."
