FROM
CUBA
Books, radios, and a copier confiscated
from independent libraries in Cuba
HAVANA, Cuba, February 25 (Lux Info Press
/ www.cubanet.org) - Two officers from the
Department of State Security who gave their
names as Frank and Ahmed called at the home
of María Elena Mir, in Guanabo, a
beach community east of Havana, and confiscated
several boxes of books and 25 portable radios.
Mir's home houses the Helen Martínez
independent library.
The two officers later called at the home
of Reinaldo Cosano, also in Guanabo and
home to the Benjamin Franklin independent
library, and confiscated a photocopier.
Cosano said one of the officers pointed
to the TV set in the living room and told
him that he "could keep the TV so he
could watch the Round Tables and the National
Newscast," programs that many Cubans
say put a heavy political slant on the news.
The confiscated items, said Cosano, were
donations from the people and government
of the United States.
