Crackdown of street vendors continues
HAVANA, April 18 (Jaime Leygonier / www.cubanet.org)
- Authorities are cracking down on street
vendors in the capital in the hopes of eradicating
them before September's meeting here of
the Non-Aligned Movement, according to a
police officer involved in the activities.
The crackdown is most evident in Old Havana
and other areas of the capital most visited
by tourists.
A policeman who detained three blind vendors
near the Gran Cinema told them their sales
were illegal and the government couldn't
afford to have such activities taking place
during the Non-Aligned meeting.
