Local official denies water service to dissident
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - June 5 (Rigoberto
González Morales, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - A dissident here
charged he had to bribe municipal workers
to supply his home with water after an official
ordered he be denied water deliveries because
he does not cooperate with official organizations
and is a well-known counterrevolutionary.
Juan Nelson Baliño said he paid 20
pesos to the men delivering water to the
town of Cifuentes, where he lives, May 27,
for them to fill his home's water tank.
The day before, the president of the local
Committee for the Defense of the Revolution,
Julio Rangel, issued the order forbidding
tanker drivers to supply water to his home,
Baliño said.
Rangel reportedly told municipal water workers
that Baliño didn't deserve the water
because of his opposition to the government.
Baliño belongs to a dissident organization
and has been under house arrest since 2002.
The tank trucks are operated by municipal
services and deliver water to the population.
