Human rights activists harassed by police

HOLGUÍN, Cuba, October 13 (Manuel Verdecia Torres, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org) - Agents from the National Revolutionary Police, accompanied by inspectors from the Tax Office, fined two brothers who operate a food stand and threatened to withdraw their permit if they continued their advocacy of human rights.

The González Rodríguez brothers were fined 400 and 1,200 - the average monthly salary in Cuba is just above 200 pesos - for selling foodstuffs made from corn flour.

The agents inspected 13 other men who were selling similar products on their own in the area but none was fined.
