Dissident loses his house because of anti-government
activities
HAVANA, March 3 (Juan Carlos Linares Balmaseda
/ www.cubanet.org) - Cuban authorities have
seized the home of Alejandro Miguel Novoa
Zaldívar on grounds that anti-government
meetings took place there.
"It's a lost case," said defense
lawyer Orlando Castro González.
Novoa, 35, is a delegate of the Democratic
Solidarity Party and an activist in the
Juan Gualberto Gómez Racial Integration
Movement.
Novoa will have an opportunity to appeal
the seizure before the Provincial Civil
Court. The municipality on January 16 refused
to return the house.
The one-room wooden house with an outside
toilet has long been in Novoa's family.
Novoa had allowed a homeless dissident couple,
Grisell de la Caridad Palomino Ruiz and
her husband, to live there.
Municipal housing director Susana Pérez
Ferrol said the couple maintained a "negative
political conduct" while living in
the house.
