CUBA: Consul In Norway Accused Of Biting Demonstrator.
MERCO PRESS/ A weekend rally for a democratic Cuba outside the island's embassy in Oslo got ugly after a demonstrator claims that the consul's wife bit her hand. Norwegian-Cuban dancer Alexandra Joner, 19, was filming the event when a woman "stood right beside me. I didn’t say anything to her. But then she began swearing at me in Spanish. She took pictures of me, and I asked her to stop. When I held my hand over her camera, she bit me,” Joner claimed. Joner was treated by medics who confirmed the bite was human and gave her antibiotics. Consul Carmen Julia Guerra denies biting Joner. Guerra risks being declared a persona non grata in Norway and expelled.
