Deaf-mute
woman threatened with removal from her home
HAVANA, Cuba, November 4 (www.cubanet.org)
-- Housing officials have threatened to
fine a deaf-mute woman if she and her eight-year-old
daughter don't leave a house declared to
be an illegal residence.
The house in question, located in the town
of Rosa de la Bayamesa, belongs to Isidro
Pompa, but he is said not to have occupied
it for 20 years.
Ruth Cordovi Lara, 42, who has been living
in the house, took her case to the Provincial
Committee of the Communist Party, but she
was advised nothing could be done.
Inspectors from the government's Urban
Reform office told her she faced a 500 peso
fine is she did not leave the house.
