Rafter arrested after return to Cuba
HAVANA, December 20 (Amarilis
C. Rey, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) -
State security agents arrested rafter Amaury
Hernández Frómeta, 33, when
he was returned to Cuba after being picked
up by an American oil tanker at sea.
Hernández Frómeta said he
refused a request by an agent named Pedro
to accompany him to the police station for
an "interview" unless he produced
an official citation.
The agent then returned with two policemen
who forcibly removed Hernández Frómeta.
Hernández Frómeta had been
taken to Venezuela on the oil tanker that
picked him up. From there he was returned
to Cuba.
Under an agreement with the United States,
Cuba is forbidden to retaliate against rafters
returned by the U.S. Coast Guard.
