HAVANA, May 16 (Reinaldo Cosano Alén) – Two officers from the
Technical Investigations Department (DTI) and the Department of State Security
(DSE) searched a dissident's home for beef and seized a typewriter.
Under the pretext that dissident Armando Villafaña Tejedor was
trafficking in beef or
beef products, officers "Eugenio," of the DTI and Luis Samada, of
the DSE, obtained a search warrant for Villafaña's home. After a thorough
search, they confiscated a typewriter and some office supplies.
The officers warned Villafaña that they could charge him with "enemy
propaganda" or with "social dangerousness," a law under which he
could be jailed for up to six years without actually having commited a crime.
Villafaña, a member of the Party for Human Rights of Cuba, previously
served three months in jail for "illicit association" in Camagüey
province.
