Government supporters prevent baseball game by pacifists

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, January 19 (Alain Ramón Gómez Ramos, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - Officials from the municipality of Santo Domingo last week prevented a local team of pacifists, Coalición Juvenil Martiana, from playing a visiting Santa Clara team on the grounds government officials and the local Communist Party had to give their approval first.

When one of the pacifist players protested the cancellation, Nilo Castro, sports director in Santo Domingo, became angry and threatened to hit the player.
