U S enforces Cuba travel ban amid fines on visitors

Lawrence man faces fines over four illegal Cuba trips
Lawrence resident Bob Augelli, a psychology professor and former percussionist, is at the center of a government crackdown on U.S. travel to Cuba. He faced up to 155000 in fines and possible prison time for four trips in 1998 and 1999, with negotiations reducing the sum to 2500 payable over a year. The case ties to the Rosa Blanca art project with Stan Herd and to broader disputes over the embargo.
