Returned Rafters Are Harassed As Agents Of The CIA

HAVANA, September 21 (Fara Armenteros, UPECI) – Police have classified Olsen Martínez, William Borrejo and Ramón Cruz as agents of the CIA and have restricted their liberty to move about here since they were returned by the Bahamian government through the U. S. Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay after a failed attempt to leave Cuba.

The returned rafters say the political police have told them they are preparing to try them and eventually jail them in Quivicán, west of Havana.

They added that nobody will employ them, so they have to make do with informal employment, which could be considered illegal and used against them in an eventual trial.

The migratory accords in effect between the United States and Cuba provide that no one who is returned to the island be prosecuted.
