Cuban police abuses a minor

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 14 (www.cubanet.org) - A police officer hit Fernando Sánchez Javier, 11-year-old grandson of the president of the Democratic Solidarity Party, according to neighbors who witnessed the incident.

The incident occurred October 4 when the youth was playing with a friend in on Oquendo Street.

When the youths started scuffling, a police agent intervened and punched Sanchez in the nose, neighbors said. His 19-year-old brother came to his defense and was also hit, they said.

The brothers were taken to the police station.
