PINAR DEL RO, Cuba, October 3 (Rafael Ferro Salas, Abdala Press /cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - Alfonso Rodrguez Rodrguez says agents of the national police took a scale and a meat grinder from his home after failing to find illegal meat he allegedly was selling.

"When they showed up they said they had a complaint that I was supposedly selling beef from my home," Rodrguez said. "What they found was pork that I had bought to feed my aged grandmother and son."

Rodrguez said the agents took a scale that his grandfather had given him and a meat grinder.

Rodrguez said that when he went to the police station to demand return of the items, he was told that he could only have them back if he became an informant. He left without the items.

He said he was certain that incident was a reprisal for his hip in the opposition People's Party.
