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.

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!"
