Wave of arrests following deaths of tourists
HAVANA, November 8 (Ernesto
Roque Cintero, UPECI / www.cubanet.org)
- Police have been carrying out a series
of arrests in central and Old Havana following
the killings of several foreign tourists.
To date, there is no official word on the
deaths, so the nationalities of the victims
and the circumstances of their deaths are
unknown.
Dissident human rights organizations talk
of two or three deaths.
The roundup of suspects is being carried
out by joint teams from the National Revolutionary
Police, the Department of Technical Investigations
and the Interior Ministry's special tactical
group. Coordination is said to be under
the Interior Ministry.
The target of the roundups are mainly
young people who frequent parks and other
popular places. Some of those picked up
have been sent back to their provinces of
origin.
