Home of independent journalist and librarian
searched by police
HAVANA, August 29 (Ernesto Roque Cintero,
UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - The home of independent
journalist and librarian Lázaro Raúl
González in Pinar del Río
province was searched by police last week
who said they heard there was a fire arm
there.
Clara Capote, González's wife, said
the police arrived at 8:30 p.m. on August
19 and had a search order signed by a Colonel
Almeida, chief of the National Revolutionary
Police in Consolación del Sur.
"The search was carried out against
our will," she said. "We're peaceful
people and we don't know the real motive
for the search, but we assume it's an act
of intimidation by the authorities, since
President and Hugo Chávez and Fidel
Castro were going to make a quick visit
to the area."
González was taken to police headquarters
after he refused to show his identification
carnet to the police.
