Independent journalist accused of stealing
and butchering a cow
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, March 24 (Guillermo
Fariñas, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - An independent journalist
who called authorities when she discovered
a bloody machete in the entrance to her
home was later accused by police of of stealing
and butchering a cow.
María Elena Alpízar Ariosa
did not enter the home last week in the
municipality of Placetas but went instead
to a public telephone where she called police.
She was joined at her home by fellow dissidents
Bertha Antúnez Pernet, Amado Ruiz
Moreno and Alejandro García Sardinas.
When no one else showed up, they went to
the local unit of the National Revolutionary
Police, where a captain named Julio said
he was unaware of any complaint.
Bertha Antúnez then called Major
Rubén Álvarez, who said he
would order an investigation. When they
returned to the journalist's home, José
Ramón Valdés of the revolutionary
police entered the residence. He accused
Alpízar Ariosa of stealing a cow
and butchering it.
