HAVANA, August 28 (Víctor M. Domínguez, Lux Info Press /
www.cubanet.org) - A gang of youths acts with impunity in the Havana
municipality of Arroyo Naranjo while residents complain that local police accept
gifts from the gang members and their relatives.
Most recently, gang members beat up 22-year-old Mayelín Cuello, who
is now in serious condition in the intensive care unit of the Luis Díaz
Soto military hospital.
Police later picked-up 12 gang members, fined them 30 pesos each and freed
them.
The mother of Mayelín complained to the chief of police, who told her
that he couldnt prosecute those responsible because it hadnt been a
homicide.
