Asylum seekers from Cuba disappear from flats Prague gave to them
Prague- The Cuban nationals who gained asylum in the Czech Republic
along with municipal flats in Prague earlier this year, do not inhabit
the flats any more as they have disappeared and their whereabouts are
unknown, Vladislav Dykast from the City Hall told CTK today.
The three flats are now inhabited by other foreigners who have been
granted Czech asylum.
By granting asylum to ten Cubans, all members of families persecuted
[sic] in Cuba for their political stands or religion,[sic] the Czech
Republic met the request of the USA that had turned to its European
allies over the refugee problem.
The Czech government asked the Prague Hall to provide municipal flats
to them. The Prague Hall complied with the request this July.
The Cubans were then ready to talk to journalists by phone only. One of
them said they were preparing for starting work in the Czech Republic,
a country with a high standard of living, in their opinion.
The Cubans would not discuss their conflicts with Fidel Castro's regime.
A mere not siding with the Cuban government arouses problems, they
said, adding that they had managed to leave Cuba at the fourth try only.
The Cubans, however, did not stay in Prague for long. Two families
disappeared after three weeks, the third family after a month, Dykast
said.
They might have viewed the Czech Republic as a transit country for
reaching any of the Western European states.
