Cuban dissident to be deported
From Times Wire Reports
The Bolivian government announced plans to deport a prominent Cuban dissident who publicly criticized President Evo Morales’ close ties to Havana.
Dr. Amauris Samartino, a Cuban who holds permanent residence status in Bolivia, will be expelled under a law forbidding immigrants to intervene in the country’s politics, a government statement said.
Samartino was arrested in the eastern city of Santa Cruz and will be flown to Cuba once his case has been processed.
