Former officer detained on grounds of trying
to leave Cuba
CIENFUEGOS, Cub, August 29 (Vicente Pérez,
Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- José Alberto Broche, an ex-officer
of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, has been
detained on grounds he was planning to illegally
leave the country.
Broche, who was an intelligence officer
with a Special Troop regiment in Cienfuegos
province, lost his commission because of
his opposition to the government.
Broche's wife, Tania, said her husband
was arrested when he left his home in a
Moscovish car, purchased in the black market,
whose motor he was allegedly going to install
in a boat to take him off the island.
"The pressure on him from officials
of the Technical Investigation Department
because of his way of thinking led him to
take this decision to abandon the country,"
she said. "Now they accuse him of trafficking
in people, which isn't true, as his sole
objective was to escape the harassment of
the regime."
