Youth wearing dissident t-shirt barred from
dollar store in Cuba
PINAR DEL RÍO, Cuba, June 28 (Rafael
Ferro Salas, Abdala Press / www.cubanet.org)
- A retired Interior Ministry officer who
now works as a security guard at a local
dollar store barred young Alexander Toledo
when he saw him wearing a t-shirt with a
dissident logo.
Toledo said the graphic image is of a Cuban
flag next to a black number 75, for the
75 dissidents and journalists imprisoned
in a massive raid in March of last year.
Toledo said the man knows him from the
neighborhood, and knows that he is a dissident.
"As soon as he saw me coming he told
me I couldn't go into the store. From his
position he takes the liberty of keeping
me from my rights. These are the sort of
things that we government opponents go through
almost daily."
The symbol of the 75 has been occasioning
incidents since it was released between
those wearing it and the authorities.
