Anti-government signs prompt dispatch of police

HAVANA, March 17 (Jaime Leygonier / www.cubanet.org) - Some 20 policemen swarmed over two blocks of San Francisco Street in Havana's Lawton district last Saturday when 11 signs reading "Down with Fidel" and "Fidel dictator" appeared on walls.

The policemen arrived in four cruisers, four trucks and various motorcycles. They set up a temporary post at the Pestalozzi primary school and took pictures of the home-made signs.

When such signs appear, the police undertake an investigation and then call in painters to paint them over.

The signs appeared a day after Castro called for a demonstration outside the U.S. Interests Section in Havana to protest the appearance of a "Down with Fidel" sign at a World Classic baseball game in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
