Rafter arrested after return to Cuba
HAVANA, December 20 (Amarilis C. Rey, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - State security agents arrested rafter Amaury Hernández Frómeta, 33, when he was returned to Cuba after being picked up by an American oil tanker at sea.
Hernández Frómeta said he refused a request by an agent named Pedro to accompany him to the police station for an "interview" unless he produced an official citation.
The agent then returned with two policemen who forcibly removed Hernández Frómeta.
Hernández Frómeta had been taken to Venezuela on the oil tanker that picked him up. From there he was returned to Cuba.
Under an agreement with the United States, Cuba is forbidden to retaliate against rafters returned by the U.S. Coast Guard.
