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.
