Man arrested after loud protest
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, December 10 (Guillermo
Fariñas Hernández, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org).- A man was taken
in by police for loudly protesting at a
local fish market, apparently after a three-hour
wait he had to endure in order to score
some fish croquettes still failed to deliver
the goods.
The man, whose age was estimated at "over
70" by witnesses, stood up and started
yelling: "They are starving us. My
wife and I are retired and we don't have
dollars."
A police car rolled up to the Pesca Villa
market and officers took the man.
Responding to bystanders who expressed
concern for the man's advanced age, one
police officer said: "We'll just take
him in and when he gets over his tantrum
we'll let him go."
