Anti-Castro signs appear in two towns

HAVANA, Cuba - July 8 (Guillermo Fariñas, Cubanacán Press / Rosa María Montoya, APLO / www.cubanet.org) - During the past week anti-Castro signs have appeared in two interior towns, touching off a police search for the authors.

Two signs, one saying "Castro murderer" and the other "Castro turn on the light," an allusion to current power outages, were posted in Las Tosas, near Santi Spiritus, according to Raimundo Perdigón Brito, representative of the dissident November 30 Frank Pais Democratic Party.

One of the signs was found a couple of hundred feet from the guest house used by Castro's security detail.

The other signs appeared in the old train station in San Luis near Santiago de Cuba. One said "Down with Fidel" while others showed the president in humorous poses, such as distributing cooking pots designed to use less energy.

Comments of residents indicate that the protests result from recent power blackouts from 9 p.m. to 11 a.m. also from reports of anemia among secondary school students.
