Public trial held in a movie house
CAIBARIÉN, Cuba, November 15 (Gustavo
de la Paz Vicent, Villa Blanca Press / www.cubanet.org)
- What was advertised as an "exemplary
trial" of a thief was held last week
in a movie house where residents were invited
by local radio stations to attend.
Humberto Echemendía was sentenced
to 10 years imprisonment for stealing a
video cassette player from a primary school
and Freddy Bustamente Reyes was fined 2,000
pesos, the equivalent of almost a year's
salary, for having bought stolen property.
Before the trial was held, the radio stations
carried announcements inviting the public
to appear at 11 a.m. on November 9 at the
Cervantes movie house for the event.
One of those who attended said the prosecutor
presented a tedious and out of context intervention,
and later a lawyer for the defendants mounted
his defense.
