Puerto Ricans Protest U.S. Radar  
Hundreds of people rallied in the streets of Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico, March 15 to protest the U.S. moves to install a naval radar receiver in that area. Previously, Washington, attempted to set up the radar receiver in Lajas, but was forced to abandon that plan in face of protests by residents of that town. Now working people and youth in Juana Díaz are doing the same. The radar transmitter is proposed to be installed in Puerto Rican island municipality of Vieques. Signs above read: "No to the antennas," and "No more land for the Navy."
