Students Strike in Cuba
Students Strike in Cuba
A student strike protesting the numerous death sentences pronounced by the Castro government in recent times was called by two Cuban student opposition organisations in mid-January. Since Fidel Castro came to power two years ago, a total of 580 executions have been undertaken. On hand bills distributed by students on the grounds of the University of Havana were the words: "Students, the time has come to put an end to the inhuman executions!"
