FROM CUBA
Political police mistreat rafters returned by the U.S. Coast Guard
HAVANA, October 14 (Amarilis C. Rey, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org) -
René Soto Delgado and his wife, Ledeyse, who have tried twice to leave
Cuba illegally, say political police seized their personal documents,
including their identity cards.
The couple and their 5-year-old son were returned to Cuba October 3 by
the U.S. Coast Guard after being caught at sea trying to reach the
United States.
They were stopped by border police in March of this year before they
were able to put to sea. They were fined 3,000 pesos after that attempt.
Under an agreement between the United States and Cuba, rafters returned
to the island cannot be mistreated by the government.
