Some Were Mothers; Some Just Looked That Way

HAVANA, January 14 (Oswaldo de Céspedes, CPI) - Ricardo Alfonso Ramos told CPI that nurses in the Turcios Lima clinic in Havana were told to dress up as pregnant women to participate in the "Hundred Thousand Mothers" march organized by the government to ask for the return of the rafter boy Elián González.

Alfonso Ramos added that the principal at the República del Paraguay secondary school, also in Havana, instructed ninth grade female students to show up at 6 a.m. today, dressed in clothes that would make them look older to also participate in the march.
