CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, November 5 (Alejandro Tur Valladares, Cubanacn Press / cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - Police continue a campaign against self-employed operators in Cienfuegos, arresting any they find and confiscating their wares.

William Morales, of the Tulipn district, was arrested October 27 in a raid by at least 10 government agents. The equipment and supplies he had for making sausages were all confiscated. He was fined and freed.

Reinaldo Tapia lost over 20 bottles of rum, and was fined 600 pesos October 28.

"My father is bedridden and I have to resell the product I obtain illegally to provide for my family," said Tapia.

People here say the raids have netted dozens in similar circumstances, and that they are expected to continue for another week at least.
