Cuban police search woman's home for the
third time in three years
HAVANA, Cuba, February 2 (www.cubanet.org)
- Police searched the home of Bárbara
Lorenzo in Managua January 27. This was
the third time in three years, Lorenzo said.
"I don't know what they are looking
for; I imagine it's anything that will give
them a motive for taking me in," she
said.
Lorenzo is the wife of a man who used to
work in a Cuban Armed Forces' radar base
and who left Cuba for the United States
three years ago. Last November, she tried
to leave the island in a raft and was returned.
Lorenzo said six officials searched the
home; two from State Security, two regular
police, and two from the Committees for
the Defense of the Revolution. She said
they found some American newspapers and
asked her where she got them.
"I told them I had bought them in
Havana for 5 pesos each." They then
asked her how she came to have so much money,
and she said she basically told them it
was none of their business. "They fined
me 50 pesos."
