Anti-government slogans appear in Santa Clara

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, March 17 (Karel Castillo, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - A group of garbage collectors saw some anti-government slogans painted on walls at a pickup point last week, prompting a team of state security agents with sniffing to cordon off the area.

Garbage man Pedro Leiva Pedraza said the slogans were painted on bathroom walls and other places in the Santo Domingo district. He said they said "Down with Fidel," "Down with the dictatorship" and "They're killing us with hunger."

The agents dusted the area for fingerprints.

Leiva Pedroza said that the guard on duty during the night - a man named Alexandre - was picked up by the agents, who said he would be fired, presumably for not seeing the slogans being painted.
