Foreign medical students complain about lost Internet connection

MORÓN, Cuba - June 6 (José Manuel Caraballo Bravo, APLA /
www.cubanet.org) - Foreign medical students at the Morón School of
Medical Science are complaining that the Internet connection has been
inoperative for as long as weeks now.

"I am waiting for the connection to be reestablished to find out if my
family has answered an e-mail that I sent them several weeks ago," said
one student.

Some of the students said they had connected through the
dollar-denominated Internet facilities operated for the exclusive use of
foreigners by the Cuban telephone company. In general, Cubans are not
allowed access to the Internet.

The students at the school come from Africa, Asia, Latin America and
several Arab countries.
