HAVANA (AP) — Cuba's government is indignant over an exile flotilla that
plans to sit off the coast of the island and protest the country's human
rights record by lighting up the skies with fireworks.
Foreign Ministry official Rene Mujica calls it yet another in a long
series of "provocations" and warns it could have unintended consequences.
Mujica and other officials spoke Friday. Interior Ministry official Jose
Luis Mendez said this will be the 18th flotilla by exile groups in South
Florida over the years.
Organizers insist their protest will be peaceful and say it is not a
provocation. It was not clear whether the display, 12 miles (19
kilometers) off the coast, will be visible to Cuba residents.
