Police prohibit "foreign and subversive" rock music

MORON, Cuba, September 22 (Abel Escobar Ramírez / www.cubanet.org) - Police prohibited a beer stand from playing rock music during the local carnival celebrations on grounds it was "foreign and subversive."

According to a communique from human rights activist Ana Lucia Martín Horta, the authorities appeared at midnight on September 16 and ordered the operator of the beer stand to stop playing the rock music records he had brought from home.

The incident occurred at the Marti de Morón Park in Ciego de Ávila during the carnival held September 15-18.

"It has to be seen what freedom of culture the government has in mind when it prohibits young people from healthily enjoying what they want," said the activist.
