French tourist with a tattoo of Che Guevara detained by police
HAVANA, October 19 (Ernesto Roque, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - A French
tourist who had a tattoo of Che Guevara on his right arm was detained and
handcuffed by police following an incident with a taxi driver.

After the tourist had complained about being overcharged October 11 on a
ride to the Chinese district, an agent of the National Revolutionary Police
let the driver go and there followed an exchange with the tourist. When
passersby intervened on behalf of the tourist, the agent called for backup
and 12 police cruisers arrived at the scene.

The tourist's Cuban-born wife started to film the incident. "Don't film me,"
the agent shouted.

The tourist and his wife were placed in a cruiser and driven away.
