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."
