Resumen
In Jamaica, one person is left dead and five injured after a television camera crew, filming a demonstration, became the focus of police attention. In Cuba, the independent journalist Olance Norgueras Roce spoke about his ordeal after his release from a high security jail. However, Cuban Foreign Ministry spokesman Miguel Alfonso denies that the journalist was ever arrested. There are many reports of government interference of journalists in many parts of the Caribbean. Trinidad's Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday has invited the incumbent Prime Minister Patrick Manning to join his national front government if he wins the general elections. The Puerto Rico-based US Immigration Services has appealed to Caribbean countries to help deal with the flow of illegal Chinese immigrants to the US. Caribbean leaders came under criticism for their failure to put forward regional concerns at the 50th anniversary celebrations of the UN. Meanwhile, Cuba's President Fidel Castro main focus was the embargo and Cuban relations with the US. In Britain, Prime Minister John Major condemned reports of plans to tighten immigration procedures in the forthcoming Immigration and Asylum bill. At the Miami International Airport, Lazaro Sanchez, a 17 year old Cuban national soccer player defected to the US after a ten day visit to Philadelphia.
