Street vendor arrested, fined
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, June 5 (Niurvys Díaz
Remond, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Police arrested Yunior Horta on May 22,
fined him 40 pesos and confiscated about
27 dollars' worth of candy and chewing gum
that he sells on the streets.
The sector chief for the Intercounty Bus
Terminal took Horta to the 3rd police station
in Santa Clara. Once there, said Horta,
captain Lorenzo Machado confiscated his
wares and refused to issue him a receipt
for the merchandise.
Horta said the value of his merchandise
adds up to about three month's salary for
an average worker.
Horta, 29, said he supports himself and
his son by selling the candy and pays taxes
to the local authorities as required.
