Woman loses job after caught trying to flee
country
HAVANA, August 11 (José Antonio
Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org.)
- Ileana Pérez Ramírez, who
was returned to Cuba June 21 after being
seized at sea by the U.S. Coast Guards,
has lost her job as a helper in a restaurant.
Lázaro Jorge García, a civil
rights advocate in the municipality of Alquízar,
said restaurant management arbitrarily changed
her job and sent her into the streets with
a push cart to sell food. After that, she
was fired.
Under an agreement with the United States,
rafters caught at sea and returned to Cuba
by the Coast Guard have to be returned to
their former jobs.
García said the action was taken
against Pérez to discourage others
from trying to leave the country, since
many in Alquízar have already left.
