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.
