Decomposing beef placed on sale

HAVANA, August 5 ( Regina del Sol y Alejandro Hernández, AIDH / www.cubanet.org) - After several months without beef, the butcher shops in Jagüey Grande had some for sale July 24. But when residents went to buy their allotment under the food rationing system, they found what there was practically putrid.

Resident Reynaldo Roche said: "This is what they were going to give us to celebrate July 26th [the anniversary of Castro’s revolution]"

Police had to intervene to quell subsequent protests.
