Residents in Cuba threatened for visiting independent library

HAVANA, Cuba, August 28 (www.cubanet.org) - Several residents of Herradura, a small community in Pinar del Río province, were threatened with long prison terms August 24 by the chief of State Security in the area.

The three men involved in this case, Francisco Betancourt, Ramiro Gómez, and Frank Hernández, have no previous known affiliation with any political or dissident organizations.

The official warning given the men states they could face "years in prison for seeking books and magazines classified as subversive by police."
