An <\/span>official statement<\/span><\/a> from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) announced that Cuban doctors and health personnel working in Bolivia will be withdrawn from that country and demanded the release of four health workers detained last November 13 in El Alto.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe immediate return to the Homeland of the Cuban collaborators has been decided,\u201d says the note, explaining the circumstances in which three men and one woman were arrested, all members of the Cuban medical mission, while they \u201cwere going to their place of residence with the money withdrawn from a bank to pay for basic services and the rent of the 107 members of the medical brigade in that region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe arrest came under the slanderous presumption that the money was being used to finance protests,\u201d continues the MINREX statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe representatives of the police and the Public Prosecutor’s Office visited the headquarters of the medical brigade in El Alto and La Paz and confirmed, based on documents, payrolls and bank details, that the amount of money coincided with the amount regularly withdrawn every month.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs demands that the detained medical brigade members be released immediately and that the Bolivian authorities guarantee the physical integrity of each of the Cuban collaborators according to the responsibilities acquired by the Bolivian State regarding the security and protection of employees in correspondence with the signed intergovernmental agreements.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
