HAVANA, November 6 (Juan Carlos Linares Balmaseda / www.cubanet.org) -
Police here arrested independent journalist Roberto Santana and civil

after they had visited the office of the U. S. diplomatic mission in Havana.

Santana said they were taken to a police station in the Vedado district
and questioned. After holding them from their arrest at about noon until
night, they were released after police confiscated books, brochures,
coloring books, photocopies of articles downloaded from the Internet, a
flashlight and a radio.

to us".
