Cuba has ordered the immediate closure of dozens of privately-run cinemas and video-game salons.

The government said they were never authorised, and that it needed to bring "order" to the management of independent businesses.


The Communist island recently relaxed restrictions on the private sector.

But some Cuban entrepreneurs had used restaurant and other types of business licences to operate backroom movie and entertainment parlours.

"Cinematic exhibition (including 3D rooms) and computer games will cease immediately in whatever kind of private business activity," read a government announcement in the state-run newspaper Granma.

It warned of decisive action against any violations of the law, and defended its decision to instil "discipline" in the private sector, adding that this was not "a step backward".

"Quite the contrary, we will continue to decidedly advance in the updating of our economic model."

There had been hints this crackdown was coming. Cuban Culture Ministry officials talked of the "banality" and "frivolity" of films on offer, mostly produced in America, and out of line, they complained, with the cultural policy of the revolution.
