Detentions among the opposition expected as Castro might visit Guantánamo
(GUANTÁNAMO/CUBA/ June 2nd/ Puenteinfocubamiami.org) – According
to a source who wishes to remain anonymous, the Department of State Security has
already a plan for the detention of leaders of the opposition and independent
journalists in Guantanamo in the event of a possible visit from Castro to this
city for the 25th anniversary of the "Combinado Poligráfico Juan
Marinello".
The detention period would last between 5 to 10 days, depending on how
dangerous the repressive systems deems the peaceful oppositionist to be.
It seems that the authorities fear that dissidents in Guantánamo will
take to the streets with anti-government signs and slogans.

neighbors demanded to know their identity one of them identified himself as a
member of the Interior Ministry.
The victim was beaten and the door to his home smashed, as also was a
radio/recorder that, according to the aggressors, was used to listen to Radio
