Anti-government graffiti in eastern Cuba
HAVANA, June 30 (Reinaldo Cosano Alén
/ www.cubanet.org) - Someone posted at least
four signs bearing anti-government slogans
around the Camagüey-province port city
of Nuevitas, one of them very close to the
local Communist Party offices, during the
night of 23-24 June.
Authorities promptly had the signs painted
over, but not before many residents saw
them. According to one resident, the signs
reflected the people's unhappiness with
the frequent blackouts in particular and
with Cuban ruler Fidel Castro in general.
José Rogelio López, a local
human rights activist, said the daily blackouts
have extended for between eight and twelve
hours lately.
So far, no one has reported any arrests
related to the signs, but police and the
Committees for the Defense of the Revolution
have instituted special watches around the
city.
