             HAVANA -- A municipal court on Thursday sentenced dissident Lazaro
             Constantine Duran to four years in a labor camp after he was convicted as a
             ``danger to society,'' the official Prensa Latina news agency reported.

             Constantine, 38, who was involved in clashes between opposition and government
             supporters in August and November, will serve the sentence in a special work
             center, the agency said.

             The agency said he was accused of meeting with people engaged in ``antisocial
             conduct'' and violating community standards.
