HAVANA, Cuba - December 13 (Richard Roselló / www.cubanet.org) - Police
in Batabanó municipality, south of Havana, captured a rustic vessel and
several of its would-be crewmen before they could get away from Cuban
waters.
Police said the men intended to sail to Mexico after their departure
from the southern Cuban coast. The craft had two engines, supplies and
one bicycle on board.
One of the men, Roberquis Mongana, told police he wanted to leave the
country because "he was denied employment and he had a pregnant wife."
Mongana had evidently been in prison for several years and was
considered unreliable.
Mongana and the others were held for three days at a police post and
released after being fined 5000 pesos each.
