Dragnet targets satellite TV antennas
HAVANA, Cuba - February 21 (Odelin Alfonso
/ www.cubanet.org) - Dozens of police and
members of special brigades launched a massive
operation targeting the satellite TV antennas
that Cubans improvise to be able to watch
foreign programming.
The possession and use of these antennas,
except for special cases, is illegal in
Cuba.
The agents, along with Cuban telephone
company employees, combed the roofs in a
search and rip-up mission for antennas and
the cables that lead to them. In their zeal,
say residents, they ripped up more than
the forbidden cables, because many complained
their TVs were not working properly.
This last operative took place in the Havana
municipality of Arroyo Naranjo. In previous
days, similar dragnets were carried out
in the Havana municipalities of San Miguel
del Padrón, 10 de Octubre, and Guanabacoa.
