SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 5 (Luis Alberto Rivera, APLO) - At 10 a.m. Saturday April 22 an unidentified man displayed a sign that read "Long live the Cuban American National Foundation" and was arrested by two policemen. The man, who apparently acted alone, hung the sign on the façade of a wood-working shop in this city in eastern Cuba and stood in front of it, quoting from Cuba's national hero José Martí, asking for liberty for the Cuban people.

Passers-by crowded around him and later reported that two police agents summarily arrested him. Neither his whereabouts nor his identity have become known.
