Former Cuban political prisoner "untrustworthy"
HAVANA, Cuba, February 12
(www.cubanet.org) - A former political prisoner
was fired from his job mending fences in
a dairy farm because he was declared "untrustworthy."
Enrique Mustelier, who had been sentenced
in 1992 for spying, was working as part
of his parole arrangement at the No. 37
dairy farm in Bauta, rural Havana province.
Then the political police showed up.
Mustelier says January 22 the local sector
chief, a lieutenant by the name of Carlos,
and another lieutenant who never gave his
name, showed up at the farm and asked the
manager whether he knew he had a "counterrevolutionary"
working there. "It's dangerous for
this facility to have a fellow of that ilk
working here," Mustelier remembers
the lieutenant said.
February 5, Mustelier says, he was called
into the Bauta offices of the Department
of State Security, where he said a captain
Lázaro told him they could revoke
his parole if he continued meeting with
"counterrevolutionary elements."
That same night, Mustelier says, his landlord
told him he wanted him and his family to
vacate the house he had been renting from
him. Mustelier says he lived there with
his wife and two sons.
Finally, on February 10, Mustelier says
the dairy farm manager, Ángel León
Alpízar, fired him for being "untrustworthy."
