Cuban
independent journalist attacked by two strangers
HAVANA, Cuba, October 1 - Independent journalist
Adela Soto was attacked by two strangers Sunday
when she alighted in Villa Clara from the train.Soto
said the two men pinned her against the walls
of the car and beat her up, but didn't take anything
before taking off. She said she had made reservations
for the 3rd car, seat 73, and that 15 minutes
before departure
she had been called by the public address system
to tell her that her seat was out of order and
that she should take the last car.
Soto said she had filed a complaint with police
after the incident, but that police didn't even
ask her what her assailants looked like.
Soto travels once a month to visit her son, who
has been in prison for 9 months awaiting trial
for illegal entry into the country.
