Would-be rafters could go to prison

Would-be rafters could go to prison

HAVANA, Cuba – May 19 (Amarilis C. Rey, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) –
Several would-be rafters who were aprehended trying to leave Cuba could
be condemned to from three to five years in prison, said a penal
instructor at the Melena prison south of Havana.

Francisco Rolando Rivero, presently being held at Melena, said penal
instructor Nildo López informed him he would be tried for attempting to
leave the country ilegally.

Rivero was aprehended in April with several companions as they were
trying to leave the island by their own means. He had been fined after a
previous attempt failed.
