Housing authority destroys home of homeless woman and daughter

CIEGO DE ÁVILA, Cuba - 31 May (Roberto Pérez, Agencia Patria / www.cubanet.org) - When Oralia Carcasés failed to obtain a building permit before the construction material for her new home started to deteriorate, she decided to build the house without one.

Last week a brigade from the Housing Institute in the municipality of Rafael Freyre, in Holguín province, destroyed the house, over the protests of the owner and her neighbors.

Independent journalist Liannys Meriño Aguilera said the building permit was held up by bureaucratic red tape and that Carcasés decided she could wait no longer. She and her young daughter had been living in a lean-to.
