CUBA
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.
