Seven young women and one Math teacher accused
of prostitution
CIEGO DE AVILA, Cuba - May 17 (Abel Escobar
Ramírez / www.cubanet.org) - Authorities
in Banes, Holguín province, arrested
seven young women and a Mathematics instructor
May 5, under charges of engaging in prostitution.
The arrests were made at the home of the
teacher, identified as Fulgencio Donta,
according to Guillermo Llanos Ricardo, a
human rights activist in the province.
The women were supposedly posing for pornographic
photographs and videos, according to the
charges. Those operating the cameras were
all foreigners; it was not reported that
any of them were arrested.
The eight arrested were taken, two of them
under handcuffs, in patrol cars to the Prostitution
Detention Center in Holguín city,
and authorities notified the women's families
that they would be held until they are tried.
Llanos Ricardo said raids such as these
are becoming more common lately. Recently
several students were taken to the Detention
Center after they were arrested in the vicinity
of night clubs to which only foreigners
are admitted.
