Cuban graffiti artist subverts government
slogan
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, September 28 (Diolexis
Rodríguez Hurtado, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - By simply adding
a number "7" a local graffiti
artist turned a government slogan painted
on a wall into an anti-government pasquinade.
The original sign, asking for "Liberty
for the 5 prisoners of the Empire,"
refers to the 5 Cubans convicted of spying
and held in U. S. prisons.
Someone took advantage of a blackout last
Thursday and added a "7," making
the number 75, a reference to the 75 dissidents
and independent journalists imprisoned by
the Cuban government in March, 2003.
By Friday, government workers had erased
the whole thing off the wall.
