More Baby Stepping Going On.

Baby Steps:

HAVANA, June 30 (Reinaldo Cosano Alén / www.cubanet.org) - Someone posted at least four signs bearing anti-government slogans around the Camagüey-province port city of Nuevitas, one of them very close to the local Communist Party offices, during the night of 23-24 June.

Authorities promptly had the signs painted over, but not before many residents saw them. According to one resident, the signs reflected the people's unhappiness with the frequent blackouts in particular and with Cuban ruler Fidel Castro in general.

José Rogelio López, a local human rights activist, said the daily blackouts have extended for between eight and twelve hours lately.

So far, no one has reported any arrests related to the signs, but police and the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution have instituted special watches around the city.
