FROM CUBA
Undercover agent Manuel David Orrio reappears on Internet

HAVANA, April 17 (Luis Cino/www.cubanet.org) - Manuel David Orrio, whose testimony in 2003 helped lead to prison terms of up to 28 years for fellow independent journalists, has been seen in public and his writings now appear on a Web site.

Orrio, a state security agent who posed as a journalist for 12 years, was seen by an independent journalist at the wheel of a car stopped at a traffic light. The two exchanged looks.

His writings have appeared on www.insurgente.org, a Web site that supports and defends the Cuban government.

Orrio was the main witness in April of 2003 against 27 journalists who were among 75 dissidents arrested the previous month and charged with crimes against the state.
