FROM
CUBA
Five-year-old penalized because mother tried
to leave Cuba
HAVANA, September 12 (José Antonio
Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- Because her mother was caught trying to
leave Cuba, Jessica Sánchez Lorenzo,
aged 5, has been unable to register for
grade one.
Four years ago the political police seized
the identity card of Bárbara Lorenzo
de Armas. Without this document, Lorenzo
de Armas cannot obtain a minor's identify
card which the Adolfo del Castillo school
requires in order to register her daughter.
Even if the school allowed Jessica to register,
her mother couldn't buy the required uniform
because this comes from a government store
that requires a document to buy there, which
was also seized four years ago.
The school advised Lorenzo de Armas that
the case has been turned over to the municipal
education board. The school is located in
the Managua district of Havana.
