Residents of building in Vedado district
protest blackouts
HAVANA, July 15 (José Antonio Fornaris,
Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - Three times
during the past week bottles and glass objects
were thrown from a building housing employees
of the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television
in an apparent protest against power blackouts.
One resident of an apartment in the building
said that after the first incident the Committee
for the Defense of the Revolution called
at a meeting at which residents were urged
to have a greater revolutionary conscience.
Vigilance in the building was also increased,
but two other incidents followed.
The building, built by employees next
to the Hotel Riviera in the Vedado district,
was opened in 1978. It contains 152 two-
and three-bedroom apartments.
