Residents evicted to expand dairy
HAVANA, Cuba - June 21 (Ahmed Rodríguez
Albacia, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- Housing officials aided by police evicted
the occupants of 14 houses in the Boyeros
municipality of Havana June 16. Critics
charged the whole purpose of the move was
to expand an adjacent dairy and that the
displaced families did not have a place
to go.
The officials involved, including the municipal
first secretary of the Communist Party,
the local police chief and the president
of the Popular Council were accompanied
by six police cars.
A local human rights activist said the
families had been living in the houses for
approximately eight years and reiterated
that they did not have alternative housing
available to them.
