Man fired after trying to illegally leave
Cuba
HAVANA, Cuba, December 1 (www.cubanet.org)
- Jesús Lázaro González
says he was fired from his job at the Panamericana
store one day after being returned to Cuba
after being intercepted at sea while trying
to flee the island.
González, 32, said the store justified
his firing on trumped up charges that he
had stolen more than $1,000.
Besides being fired, Gonzaléz was
fined 300 pesos, more than his monthly salary
at the store.
Under agreements signed in 1994 and 1994
between the United States and Cuba, no reprisals
are to be taken against those caught trying
to flee the country.
