State security police seek authors of anti-Castro
caricatures
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - June 27 (Niurvys Díaz
Remond, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Local sign makers and painters are being
questioned by state security police following
a rash of anti-Castro caricatures drawn
on walls in the Santa Clara region.
The caricatures show a rice pot attached
to the president's buttocks with a cable,
an allusion to a campaign to save energy
through the use of more fuel efficient cooking
pots. The caricatures appeared on walls
in Caibarién, Camajuaní, Santa
Clara and Manajanabo.
Although wall posters are a popular form
of dissident expression in Cuba, the authors
of the works can be charged with the crime
of producing "enemy propaganda"
and face lengthy jail sentences.
