Havana, June 9 (RHC)-- Since yesterday afternoon/evening, false news began to circulate on the social networks related to the death of young people in an activity at Finca de los Monos [a recreational area in Havana].   News that is false!

The incident was related to an unapproved activity, where a disturbance occurred when people moved to the exterior areas of the facility.

The Government authorities and the National Revolutionary Police intervened consistently to reestablish order.

Unfortunately, the incident caused two injuries.  The young people received immediate medical attention and their lives are not in danger.  There are no deaths.

We repudiate acts like this, which have nothing to do with the effort that the Cuban state makes to guarantee healthy recreational activities.

Once again, the unscrupulous attitude of people and media that try to discredit our society with falsehoods is revealed.

We continue to work toward discipline, formal and civic education, elements that characterize the model of Cuban socialism.
