U-S envoy says Cuba message board will stay put

U-S envoy says Cuba message board will stay put

HAVANA The electronic message board on the U-S diplomatic offices in Havana
is staying put, over the objections of Fidel Castro's government.
The U-S mission irked Castro last week when it installed the sign which
carries a running text of news and human rights messages. It includes
excerpts from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which Cuba has
signed on.
Castro has denounced the board's messages as "provocations." Earlier in the
week, he launched a massive protest march, then started a mysterious
construction project directly in front of the offices.
