From today's Ahora


Panama's first Anti-Corruption Public Prosecutor, Mercedes de Leon, demanded a trial against several former government officials during Mireya Moscoso's mandate for their participation in the illegal departure from the country of terrorist Luis Posada Carriles.

De Leon requested to initiate proceedings against former Justice Minister Arnulfo Escalona, former chief of the National Police Carlos Bares, and former deputy director of Immigration, Javier Tapia, reported La Prensa daily newspaper.

According to Prensa Latina news agency, the decision was made public after the conclusion of an extended probe into the case requested by the Twelfth Penal Court of Panama.

Posada Carriles and three of his accomplices were arrested in Panama as they were planning an assassination attempt against Cuban President Fidel Castro during the Iberian-American Summit that took place in 2000.

Shortly before her term in office ended, President Mireya Moscos, with close ties with anti Cuban terrorists based in Miami, and pardoned the assassins, who were flown out of the country backed by officials of her administration.

“The Cuban government has made statements lately that if Raúl is in power, one of his main concerns is going to be dealing with the basic needs of the Cuban population,” said Eric Driggs, a researcher at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at University of Miami. “If that means giving some measure of a better life or putting more food on the table, I think he’ll take it.”

Why are satellites illegal in Cuba?

A 38-year-old man named Raúl said he pays $10 a month for an illegal TV hookup and keeps the cable hidden under the dirt in front of his house.

''They'll take away your TV and your appliances if they catch you watching'' Univisión, he said.

His brother Miguel, 27, says the punishment may be worse now that Castro's health is in doubt.

''And now, since this happened, they'll probably put you in prison,'' Miguel said."

"We can't change things," said a young man clutching a bottle of rum at a festival in Old Havana, "so we might as well drink. We've been waiting for decades: we can wait a little longer."
