HAVANA, Mar 19, 2011 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- The Cuban Committees for the
Defense of the Revolution (CDR) called on Saturday its members to
"enhance the revolutionary people's vigilance" against the acts of
vandalism affecting different sectors of the Cuban economy.
"The actions against the public telephony and transportation, the theft
of railway sleepers and rails, and of the angle of electrical towers,
among others, endanger human life, affect the country's economy and hurt
the public peace," the CDR said in a statement.
"The people at the CDR, the Federation of Cuban Women and the National
Association of Small Farmers have all the means to combat the social
indisciplines, and to give an effective response in preventing or
fighting the serious crimes against the communications, transportation,
electricity and rail systems," the statement said.
The CDRs are considered the "eyes and ears of the revolution," the
largest mass organization on the island, with 8.4 million members of a
population of 11.2 million.
The Committees as they are known have been mobilized during the first
mass vaccination campaign since 1962, when the country eradicated
diseases like polio and rubella.
They also are important in their integration with the communities to
maintain the social prevention, one of the reasons for the low crime
rate in Cuba."
