Cuban travel clamp rule provokes border crossings
Groups of American activists defied new U S travel limits to Cuba by walking across the Isace Bridge from Canada into Buffalo and by crossing the Hidalgo International Bridge from Mexico. About 15 Venceremos Brigade members entered together while Pastors for Peace volunteers totaled around 100. They carried banners and aid loads bound for Cuba amid warnings of possible prosecutions and fines. The Bush administration aims to tighten the embargo by restricting remittances and cultural visits.
