SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba, October 6 (Guillermo
Espinosa Rodrguez, APLO / cubanet.sergipeconectado.com)
- Outnumbered police beat a retreat from
an AIDS prevention rally after failing to
remove a participant among the estimated
20,000 students in the Plaza de la Revolucin
Antonio Maceo.
When companions of the youth reacted to
the way he was being treated by police,
they removed him themselves while others
turned on the police.
Unable to control the crowd, the police
moved to another area of the plaza and the
event resumed.
The participants were students from the
city's schools and colleges, including the
Universidad de Oriente. The two-hour event
included entertainment by two musical groups,
Charanga Habanera and Grupo Erica.
