- Three young men were released pending
trial after being arrested for setting off
home-made firecrackers in various places
in the mining town of Moa in the province
of Holguin.
The three were identified as Osmel Cusa,
15; Maiquel Carballo, 25; and Maiquel Caballero,
26. Cusa and Carballo were said to be students
while Caballero has an arrest record.
The trio said they made the firecrackers
and set them off for fun November 22. They
exploded in front of a school, a state office
and a candy store.
Jorge Luis Ganza Clap,
a civil rights advocate, says Cusa faces
a possible sentence of eight years for disturbing
public order. He did not know the status
of the other two.
