Independent journalist fined for living
in family home
HAVANA, Cuba, September 22 (José
Antonio Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- Independent journalist Amarilis Cortina
Rey has been fined for allegedly living
illegally in the house her grandfather purchased
in 1924 and where she herself was born.
Cortina Rey inherited the property from
her father, who was also born there, but
she lived elsewhere for a while before taking
possession of the family home.
She was fined after an official of the
municipal identity card office visited the
house and inquired about her living status.
She was unable to produce a deed to the
house in her name.
"I haven't been able to put the house
in my name because of bureaucratic problems
at the Municipal Housing office," she
said. "Two years ago I was also cited
and fined for the same reason."
