Would-be rafters threatened with jail terms

HAVANA, February 1 (Richard Roselló / www.cubanet.org) - The political police in Batabanó, a town on the south coast of Havana province, have warned a group of would-be rafters to give up their attempts to leave Cuba if they don't want to go to jail.

Osniel Fernández Rodríguez, his wife, Anabel Álvarez , and brother-in-law, Omar Álvarez Rodríguez, were stopped by border police under a local bridge. With them was a minor, 10-year-old Chamier Álvarez Rodríguez.

Fernández Rodríguez, 23, a small farmer, and his brother-in-law have been cited several times by the police for supposedly being the authors of anti-government slogans.

"I've been fined several times and had pork I was selling seized," said Fernández Rodríguez.
