PINAR DEL RÍO, Cuba, Oct. 5 (Rafael Ferro Salas, www.cubanet.org) Police agents arrested independent journalist Lisandro Herrera Arteta at a public festival and charged him with creating a public scandal.

I was accompanied by my son and my brother when two agents approached men and demanded that I leave because I was opposed to the regime, Herrara Arteta, 31, said. They alleged that the plaza was only for revolutionaries so that I couldnt be there.

Herrara Arteta was taken to the police station with his seven-year-old son and fined 30 pesos about one dollar.

He belongs to the Peoples Party and is a correspondent of ABDALAPRESS.
