Authorities want to evict family after 18
years
HAVANA, Cuba - March 13 (Ahmed Rodríguez
Albacia, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- A family that has been living in an Old
Havana house for 18 years says authorities
now want to evict them.
Juan Alberto Parra charges officials from
the local housing authority, police and
the Committee for the Defense of the Revolution
(CDR) have threatened to evict his family
in order to award the house to the son of
the CDR president.
Parra said he was resettled in the house
18 years ago after the apartment in Central
Havana -and indeed the whole building- in
which he lived collapsed.
Parra said he has addressed several government
offices having jurisdiction over the issue
to appeal for permanent resettlement, but
to no avail.
Parra said he is 38 and suffers from brain
cancer. He has three minor daughters, all
of whom are diabetics.
