HAVANA, November 13 (Ricardo González Alfonso ) – "Down with Fidel, dictator" read the sign that showed up Saturday morning in Nueva Gerona, the capital of the Isle of Youth, formerly the Isle of Pines, south of the main island.

Hubert Rodríguez Tudela, a human rights activist there, said that so far there have been no arrests. According to the Cuban penal code, anyone accused of putting up the sign could be charged with posting enemy propaganda and face one to eight years in prison.
