French tourist with a tattoo of Che Guevara
detained by police
HAVANA, October 19 (Ernesto
Roque, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - A French
tourist who had a tattoo of Che Guevara
on his right arm was detained and handcuffed
by police following an incident with a taxi
driver.
After the tourist had complained about
being overcharged October 11 on a ride to
the Chinese district, an agent of the National
Revolutionary Police let the driver go and
there followed an exchange with the tourist.
When passersby intervened on behalf of the
tourist, the agent called for backup and
12 police cruisers arrived at the scene.
The tourist's Cuban-born wife started to
film the incident. "Don't film me,"
the agent shouted.
The tourist and his wife were placed in
a cruiser and driven away.
