Cuba To Crackdown On Satellite Dishes
Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer Havana, Cuba (AHN) - The Cuban government has ordered a crackdown on illegal satellite dishes in an effort to keep the island closed to outside information. The state-run Communist Party newspaper Granma says the stations, many of which broadcast by the exiled Cuban community in Miami, "are fertile ground for those who want to carry out the Bush administration's plan to destroy the Cuban revolution." Much of the island has been desperate for information as the government controls much of the press. While American-based stations may carry to Cuba via satellites, they too are also without concrete details of President Fidel Castro's health. The Cuban government jams U.S.-funded TV and Radio Marti, yet according to Reuters there may be as many as 10,000 illegal TV satellite dishes in Cuba. Images of a jubilant Miami on July 31 were sent via satellite to Cuba, another example the government says of the American plot to overturn the revolution.
