CIENFUEGOS, Cuba - August 16 (Luis Miguel

Press / www.cubanet.org) - The National
Revolutionary Police detained and fined
a group of street vendors who were selling
fruits and vegetables at lower prices than
those in state stores.
Using a urban transportation bus for cover,
the agents seized the products of six vendors
operating on Castillo Street at 1:30 p.m.,
August 2.
Ramón Peña, one of those
detained, said: "These measures are
abusive. They fined me 1,500 pesos. As well,
they took 14 packages of macaroni that I
was selling at lower prices than the state,
helping to alleviate the hunger of many
people."
