FROM
CUBA
Members of the national police accused of
confiscating dissident's property
PINAR DEL RÍO, Cuba, October 3
(Rafael Ferro Salas, Abdala Press /www.cubanet.org)
- Alfonso Rodríguez Rodríguez
says agents of the national police took
a scale and a meat grinder from his home
after failing to find illegal meat he allegedly
was selling.
"When they showed up they said they
had a complaint that I was supposedly selling
beef from my home," Rodríguez
said. "What they found was pork that
I had bought to feed my aged grandmother
and son."
Rodríguez said the agents took a
scale that his grandfather had given him
and a meat grinder.
Rodríguez said that when he went
to the police station to demand return of
the items, he was told that he could only
have them back if he became an informant.
He left without the items.
He said he was certain that incident was
a reprisal for his membership in the opposition
People's Party.
