Bakery employee threatened for talking to
journalist
HAVANA, Cuba - August 10 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - Lázaro Álvarez
has been told he could be fired from his
job at a bakery in Batabanó for holding
a conversation with an independent journalist.
"That is unfair," said Álvarez'
brother.
"Lazarito has been working there for
two years, and he even works on Sundays."
Álvarez, 25, talked to the journalist
about another brother, Francisco, a farmer
who has been jailed for several weeks for
attempting to leave the country.
Álvarez said he has been called
in twice for questioning, once by the local
police and once by the Border guards. In
both instances, he said, officials threatened
to fire him from his job and blame him for
missing merchandise.
