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."
