Returned rafters complain of harassment
in Cuba
HAVANA, Cuba, September 29 (Roberto Santana
Rodríguez / www. cubanet.org) - Returned
rafter Maikel Pérez says the fine
he owes is up to 6,000 pesos by now and
he is afraid he is going to end up in jail
because he can't pay it.
Maikel, along with companions Michel Torres
and Norberto Chacón, were intercepted
in the Florida Straits in April and returned
to the Cuban port of Mariel.
Maikel said that two agents of the Department
of State Security, who only identified themselves
as Henry and Andrés, showed up at
his home September 21 and told him that
the fine he owed had been doubled because
he hadn't paid on time.
"I don't have the money, and I'm afraid
at any time police will come and take me.
I'm being closely watched by Henry, who
said he was willing to follow me for the
rest of my life," said Maikel.
