| 2004-02-29 |
| EFL According to information provided over the telephone by the provincial Delegate of the Democratic Party November 30 "Frank PaÃÂs" in Guantánamo, to the National Coordinator in functions of this organization in Havana, that Paver Morienar Vargas Deville, a member and activist of the Democratic Party November 30 "Frank PaÃÂs", is being harassed by members of the State Security of the above mentioned province. The activist informed LUX-INFO-PRESS Paver Morienar Vargas Deville was serving a sentence of six years in prison at the provincial prison Combinado de Guantánamo, for a supposed crime of "intent of illegal exit of national territory" through the Guantánamo Naval Base, for which he had to serve half of his sentence before being legible for parole. On January 22, Vargas Deville was threatened by Captain Benitez and Captain Silvestre, both members of the State Security, whom stated that in the event he was seen with members of the above mentioned opposition group his parole would be revoked and he would sent back to prison to complete his sentence. According to José Alfonso Frometa, delegate of the Democratic Party November 30 "Frank PaÃÂs" in Guantánamo, after the interrogatory, all Vargas Deville wanted was for the world to know his story be told as more evidence of the violations of freedom of speech and association by the Cuban regime all over the Island. In my mind I see a delighted American newspaper editor hitting the print button after reading the headline. After a reading a paragraph he crummples the hardcopy and tosses it toward teh waste basket that is so full of wadded paper that the new balled sheet of news rolls out across the rim and falls to the floor among a collections of it’s brothers and sisters. |

| #1 Yeah, SH. I could almost see the alarms and flashing lights going off at the NYT International Desk. But... nothing to see here, get back to work. It's only some Cuban malcontent. Call Pinchy back and tell him he can stand down. |
