[222]GROUP, AND THE FORMER HUSBAND OF A GROUP MEMBER, OF BEING CUBAN
[223]SECURITY SOURCES OR PENETRATIONS. THE LEADERS OF THE DISSIDENT
[224]GROUP DID NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC EVIDENCE THAT THE INDIVIDUALS WERE
[225]CONNECTED TO CUBAN SECURITY, BUT INCIDENTS IN WHICH EACH OF THESE
[226]INDIVIDUALS WERE INVOLVED LED THE LEADERSHIP TO BECOME SUSPICIOUS
[227]OF THEM.
[229]TEXT: 1. AS OF MID AUGUST 1995, THE LEADERSHIP OF THE CUBAN
[230]DISSIDENT GROUP, CUBAN CIVIC CURRENT (CORRIENTE CIVICA CUBANA -
[231]ccc), WAS CERTAIN THAT THE CUBAN HUMAN RIGHTS AND DISSIDENT
[232]MOVEMENTS HAD ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF CUBAN SECURITY, PRIMARILY
[233]THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR (MININT), AND THEY BELIEVED THAT MININT
[234]WAS TRYING TO PENETRATE DISSIDENT ORGANIZATIONS. CCC MEMBERS
[235]CONCERNED OVER THE GROUP'S SECURITY TAGGED FOUR INDIVIDUALS WHO
[236]EXHIBITED BEHAVIOR OR ACTIVITIES IN THE HUMAN RIGHTS OR DISSIDENT
[237]ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUGGESTED THAT THEY WERE ASSOCIATED WITH
[238]MININT. THE INDIVIDUALS WERE JORGE ((GONZALES)), VLADIMIRO
[239]((ROCA)) ATUNEZ, GUILLERMO ((FERNANDEZ)) DONATES, AND RAFAEL
[240]((ALCIDES)).
[242]2. THE CCC LEADERSHIP WAS VIRTUALLY CERTAIN THAT JORGE
[243]GONZALEZ, OF THE CHRISTIAN LIBERATION MOVEMENT (MOVIMIENTO
[244]CRISTIANO LIBERACION), HEADED BY OSVALDO ((PAYA)) SARDINAS, WAS A
[245]CUBAN SECURITY PENETRATION. DIRECTORS OF THE CCC NOTED THAT HIS
[246]QUESTIONS WERE USUALLY SO PENETRATING AS TO SUGGEST INSIDE
[247]KNOWLEDGE. A TRUSTED MEMBER OF THE CCC WAS DIRECTED AGAINST
[248]GONZALEZ, PROVIDING HIM WITH MOSTLY BOGUS INFORMATION KNOWN ONLY
[249]TO THE CCC MEMBER AND THE CCC LEADERSHIP. RECORDS OF THE DATE THE
[250]INFORMATION WAS PASSED WERE KEPT BY THE CCC. THE INFORMATION
[251]LATER SURFACED THROUGH MININT DURING THE COURSE OF MININT
[252]INTERVIEWS OF DETAINED CCC LEADERS. THE CCC LEADERSHIP BELIEVED
[253]THAT GONZALEZ MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN VENEZUELA AS OF MID AUGUST 1995.
[255]3. VLADIMIRO ROCA OF THE CUBAN DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST
[256]CURRENT (CORRIENTE SOCIALISTA DEMOCRATICA CUBANA), WHO IS ONE OF
[257]THE CLOSEST ASSOCIATES OF ELIZARDO ((SANCHEZ)) SANTACRUZ OF THE
[258]CUBAN COMMISSION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND NATIONAL RECONCILIATION
[259](COMISION CUBANA DE DERECHOS HUMANOS Y RECONCILIACION NACIONAL) ,
[260]CAME UNDER CCC SUSPICION AFTER AN INCIDENT IN 1992. IN THAT YEAR,
[261]SHORTLY AFTER THE LETTER BY CUBAN PROFESSIONALS TO THE IBERIAN
[262]AMERICAN SUMMIT WAS PRESENTED, CCC CHIEF ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
[263]VLADIMIR ((MARTINEZ-AMORES)) ALVAREZ WAS VISITED AT HIS HOME BY
[264]TWO MININT OFFICERS. THE TWO OFFICERS WERE NAMED "MARCIAL" AND
[265]"DANIEL." THE SENIOR OF THE TWO, DANIEL, REMARKED THAT ELI ZARDO
[266]SANCHEZ WAS A U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENT. IN DUE COURSE THIS
[267]INFORMATION WAS PASSED BY MARTINEZ-AMORES TO SANCHEZ IN THE
[268]PRESENCE OF VLADIMIRO ROCA. AROUND DECEMBER 1992, DURING AN
[269]"INTERVIEW" BY MININT OF A CCC MEMBER, MARCIAL MADE A STATEMENT
[270]THAT INDICATED THAT HE KNEW THAT HIS INITIAL REMARKS TO
[271]MARTINEZ-AMORES ABOUT SANCHEZ HAD BEEN PASSED TO SANCHEZ. ‘ WHEN IT
[272]WAS REPORTED TO SANCHEZ THAT MININT HAD MADE THIS STATEMENT, HE
[273]ATTRIBUTED IT TO TECHNICAL COVERAGE IN HIS HOME ASSOCIATED WITH AN
[274]LP OPPOSITE HIS HOME. THE CCC WAS NOT CONVINCED BY THIS
[275]EXPLANATION AND THEREAFTER KEPT ROCA AT A DISTANCE, AS THEY
[276]ASSUMED THAT IT WAS ROCA WHO HAD PASSED THE INFORMATION TO THE
[278]SECRET

[284]SECRET
[286]MHFNO: 96-2899455 SENSIND: INTEL PAGE:
[288]MININT. (SOURCE COMMENT: ONLY ROCA, SANCHEZ AND MARTINEZ-AMORES
[289]KNEW THAT SANCHEZ HAD BEEN TOLD, AND BOTH SANCHEZ AND
[290]MARTINEZ-AMORES WERE TRUSTED MEMBERS OF THE ccc.)
[292]. 4. CCC'S SUSPICIONS CONCERNING ROCA HAVE GROWN STRONGER IN
[293]LIGHT OF THE FOLLOWING INCIDENTS:
[295]A. CCC MEMBER FELIX ((DIAZ)) WAS DENIED A REQUEST FOR
[296]A VISA TO THE U.S. BY THE U.S. INTERESTS SECTION. THE REPORTED
[297]GROUNDS FOR DENIAL WERE THAT DIAZ HAD NOT SUBMITTED SUFFICIENT
[298]EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY THE VISA. ROCA WAS HEARD TO TELL DIAZ THAT
[299]HIS REQUEST HAD BEEN UNDERMINED BY FELIX ((BONNE)) CARCASSES, THE
[300]CCC LEADER. BONNE DENIED THIS ACTION, SAYING THAT HE WOULD HAVE
[301]HAD NO INTEREST IN UNDERMINING DIAZ.
[303]B. IN EARLY 1993, JORGE GONZALEZ, A CLOSE FRIEND OF
[304]ROCA, INFORMED THE CCC LEADERSHIP THAT AN AUTHORESS, IDENTIFIED AS
[305]MARIANA ((BADELL)) (PHONETIC), WAS PREPARING A BIOGRAPHY OF CUBAN
[306]PRESIDENT FIDEL ((CASTRO)) AND WANTED TO MEET BONNE. THE REASON
[307]FOR SUCH A MEETING IN CONNECTION WITH A BIOGRAPHY OF CASTRO WAS
[308]NOT CLEAR, BUT THE MEETING TOOK PLACE IN GONZALEZ’ HOME, AND
[309]INCLUDED BADELL, BONNE, AND MARTINEZ-AMORES . THE CCC LEADERS
[310]NOTED THAT BADELL APPEARED TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE DURING THE COURSE
[311]OF THE MEETING. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD HAD LUNCH WITH AN
[312]OFFICIAL OF THE SPANISH EMBASSY IN HAVANA, WHO WAS ASSISTING HER
[313]WITH THE BIOGRAPHY OF CASTRO BY PUTTING HER IN TOUCH WITH ONE
[314]CARLOS ALBERTO ((MONTANER)) IN MADRID, WHO WOULD EDIT THE BOOK.
[315]SHE DECLINED TO IDENTIFY THE SPANISH OFFICAL, BUT DESCRIBED HIM: IN
[316]SUCH DETAIL THAT BOTH BONNE AND MARTINEZ-AMORES RECOGNIZED HIM AS
[317]JORGE ((DE ORUETA)), A LONG-TIME CONTACT OF THE CCC. WHEN THE
[318]CONVERSATION WAS RELAYED TO DE ORUETA BY THE ccc, HE RECALLED
[319]BADELL HAD BEEN INTRODUCED TO HIM BY VLADIMIRO ROCA’S WIFE. HE
[320]FURTHER RECALLED THE LUNCH AND MENTION OF THE BOOK, BUT DECLARED
[321]THE MONTANER INFORMATION TO BE SPURIOUS. THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
[322]SUGGESTED TO CCC SECURITY PERSONNEL THAT THERE WAS COORDINATION
[323]AMONG INDIVIDUALS SUSPECTED OF BEING DIRECTED BY CUBAN SECURITY.
[325]Cc. IN 1993 A GROUP OF DISSIDENTS, INCLUDING BONNE, WAS
[326]INVITED TO THE HOME OF PIOTR ((MIKISKA)) (PHONETIC), FIRST
[327]SECRETARY AT THE CZECH EMBASSY, TO ATTEND A VISIT FROM THE CZECH
[328]VICE CHANCELLOR. (SOURCE COMMENT: THIS KIND OF CONTACT WAS
[329]ANATHEMA TO THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT.) THE CZECH INVITATION TO BONNE
[330]WAS SENT THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE BY WORD OF MOUTH VIA ROCA. BY
[331]COINCIDENCE, ANOTHER CCC REPRESENTATIVE VISITING MIKISKA WITHIN A
[332]DAY OR TWO OF WHEN THE INVITATION WAS RELAYED TO ROCA WAS ASKED
[333]ABOUT THE INVITATION TO BONNE, AS BONNE HAD NOT RESPONDED TO THE
[334]CZECH EMBASSY. THE CCC REPRESENTATIVE INCLUDED THE QUERY
[335]REGARDING THE INVITATION IN HIS REPORT OF THE MEETING TO THE CCC,
[336]GIVING BONNE HIS FIRST NOTIFICATION THAT THERE HAD EVEN BEEN AN
[337]INVITATION. ROCA FINALLY PASSED THE MESSAGE TO THE HOME OF
[338]GEORGINA DE LAS MERCEDES ((GONZALEZ)) CORBO, ONE OF BONNE’S CHIEF
[339]ASSISTANTS, TWO HOURS PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING ‘OF THE FUNCTION.
[341]D. IN MID 1995, REINALDO ((ROQUE)) MALHERBE OF CCC
[342]REPORTED THAT VLADIMIRO ROCA’S WIFE WAS UNDERMINING ELIZARDO

[350]SANCHEZ BY PASSING AROUND STORIES THAT HE HAD BEEN WITHHOLDING
[351]ORGANIZATIONAL FUNDS, INTENDED FOR THE SOCIALIST CURRENT, FOR HIS
[352]PERSONAL USE. (SOURCE COMMENT: THIS RUMOR CAMPAIGN MAY HAVE
[353]*CONTRIBUTED TO SANCHEZ’ REPORTED RESIGNATION FROM THE<EXECUTIVE>
[354]COMMITTEE OF THE SOCIALIST CURRENT. )
[356]E. REPORTING ON RADIO MARTI FROM MIAMI AROUND MID 19935
[358]ALLEGEDLY REFERRED TO VLADIMIRO ROCA AS AN AGENT OF CUBAN STATE
[359]SECURITY. ROCA HIMSELF WAS REPORTED IN CUBAN DISSIDENT CIRCLES TO
[360]HAVE STATED THAT HE WAS A LONG-TIME FRIEND OF MAJOR GENERAL FABIAN
[361]((ESCALANTE)) FONT, WHO WAS REPORTEDLY THE CHIEF OF THE MININT
[362]DIRECTORATE OF COUNTERINTELLIGENCE (DCI). (HEADQUARTERS COMMENT:
[363]ESCALANTE FONT NOW HEADS THE MINISTRY'S HISTORY COMMISSION AND ts
[364]*KNOWN FOR HIS INQUIRIES INTO THE PRES IDENT<JOHN>F . <KENNEDY>
[365]ASSASSINATION, THE BAY OF PIGS INVASION, AND THE CUBAN MISSILE
[366]CRISIS.) :
[368]5. GUILLERMO FERNANDEZ DONATES IS A CIVIL ENGINEER WHO WAS
[369]CLOSE TO GUSTAVO ((ARCOS) ) BERGNES OF THE CUBAN COMMITTEE FOR
[370]HUMAN RIGHTS (COMITE CUBANO PRO DERECHOS HUMANOS). HE WAS
[371]SUSPECTED OF BEING A MININT SOURCE AND A PROVOCATEUR BY THE CCC
[372]LEADERSHIP. HE JOINED THE CCC ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF ARCOS
[373]BECAUSE FERNANDEZ WAS A MEMBER OF THE PROFESSIONAL CLASS. (SOURCE
[374]COMMENT: MANY MEMBERS OF THE CCC ARE PROFESSIONALS.) THE CCC
[375]INITIALLY BECAME SUSPICIOUS OF FERNANDEZ BECAUSE HE HAD A HISTORY
[376]OF ARRESTS IN WHICH HE WOULD BE PLACED WITH VARIOUS GROUPS OF
[377]POLITICAL PRISONERS. IN PRISON HE WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE A FIGHT
[378]WITH A GUARD OR COMMIT AN INFRACTION OF REGULATIONS AND BE REMOVED
[379]BY THE AUTHORITIES FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION. EACH TIME HE EMERGED
[380]FROM PRISON HE SEEMED TO BE IN EXCELLENT HEALTH AND WELL FED.
[382]6. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL OTHER ANOMALIES HAVE CAUSED THE
[383]CCC LEADERSHIP TO BE SUSPICIOUS OF FERNANDEZ:
[385]A. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, FERNANDEZ HAS BEEN ASKED BY
[386]THE CCC TO COMMUNICATE ITEMS OF MUTUAL INTEREST TO ARCOS.
[387]SUBSEQUENT ELICITATION OF ARCOS BY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CCC LED
[388]THEM TO BELIEVE THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY FERNANDEZ TO ARCOS
[389]WAS OFTEN GROSSLY INACCURATE. WHEN APPRISED OF THIS SITUATION,
[390]ARCOS DISMISSED CCC COMMENTS AS BEING SIMPLE MISUNDERSTANDINGS .
[392]B. IT HAS BEEN NOTED BY THE CCC LEADERSHIP THAT
[393]FERNANDEZ WAS FRIENDLY WITH JORGE GONZALEZ AND WITH VLADIMIRO
[394]ROCA. FERNANDEZ WAS PRIVY TO THE ACTIVITIES PLANNED BY SOCIALIST
[395]CURRENT, THE GROUP TO WHICH ROCA BELONGED, BY HIS ASSOCIATION WITH
[396]ROCA. REINALDO ROQUE, A MEMBER OF THE CCC, WHO WORKED WITH
[397]SOCIALIST CURRENT, NOTED THAT WHEN THE GROUP WAS SCHEDULED TO
[398]MEET, IT WAS CHALLENGED BY CUBAN AUTHORITIES SO OFTEN THAT THE
[399]AUTHORITIES MUST HAVE BEEN APPRISED OF ITS SCHEDULE. EITHER
[400]FERNANDEZ OR ROCA (OR BOTH) COULD HAVE BEEN PASSING SUCH
[401]INFORMATION TO THE AUTHORITIES.
[403]Cc. ON ONE OCCASION, TO THE SURPRISE OF THE CCC,
[404]FERNANDEZ, A KARATE PRACTITIONER, INVITED THE ENTIRE CCC
[405]MEMBERSHIP TO GO TO THE CIUDAD DEPORTIVA (SPORTS CITY) TO, AN

[411]MHFNO: 96-2899455 SENSIND: INTEL : PAGE: 6
[412]EXERCISE FIELD TO WORK OUT. CCC SECURITY PERSONNEL NOTED THAT
[413]THIS WOULD HAVE ASSEMBLED ALL OR MOST OF THE CCC MEMBERSHIP IN
[414]HAVANA IN AN OPEN AREA WHERE IT COULD BE OBSERVED AND
[415]PHOTOGRAPHED. THE INVITATION, COMING AS IT DID AS A ONE-TIME
[416]OPPORTUNITY WITH NO PRECEDENT, FUELED SUSPICIONS WITHIN THE CCC
[417]AND THE INVITATION WAS DECLINED.
[419]7. A SERIES OF EVENTS INVOLVING RAFAEL ALCIDES, A NOTED
[420]CUBAN POET AND FIRST HUSBAND OF TERESA ((FERNANDEZ)) MARDONES (A
[421]MEMBER OF THE CCC), WAS SIGNIFICANT TO THE CCC BECAUSE IT CALLED
[422]INTO QUESTION WHERE ALCIDES’ LOYALTIES LAY. ALCIDES AND FERNANDEZ
[423]HAD ONE CHILD, A SON, TOGETHER BEFORE THEY WERE DIVORCED AROUND
[424]LATE 1993. FERNANDEZ HAD REMARRIED AND WAS LIVING WITH RONALDO
[425]((ROQUE)) (COUSIN OF REINALDO ROQUE), AND ALCIDES WAS SPENDING
[426]CONSIDERABLE TIME AT THE ROQUE RESIDENCE, PRESUMABLY TO BE WITH
[427]HIS SON. THE CCC BECAME CONCERNED WITH THE SECURITY OF THE
[428]SITUATION AS FERNANDEZ WAS PRIVY TO CCC INFORMATION AND WAS
[429]ASSESSED AS BEING EMOTIONAL AND TENDING TO CONFIDE TOO MUCH.
[430]MARTINEZ~AMORES WAS DISPATCHED BY THE CCC TO FEEL OUT ALCIDES, AND
[431]REPORTED THAT HE SPOKE COHERENTLY AND LOGICALLY AGAINST THE
[432]CURRENT REGIME. MARTINEZ-AMORES APPEARED TO BE REASSURED.
[433]SUBSEQUENTLY HOWEVER, IN CONVERSATION WITH ALCIDES, REINALDO ROQUE
[434]LEARNED THAT ALCIDES WAS PART OF A DELEGATION OF THE, CUBAN
[435]NATIONAL UNION OF WRITERS AND ARTISTS (UNION NACIONAL DE
[436]ESCRITORES Y ARTISTAS DE CUBA - UNEAC) THAT VISITED MADRID
[437]SOMETIME AROUND 1994. WHILE THERE, ALCIDES SAID THAT HE WAS
[438]INVITED WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER UNEAC DELEGATES TO LUNCH WITH
[439]CARLOS ALBERTO MONTANER. (SOURCE COMMENT: THE LUNCHEON WITH
[440]MONTANER MUST CERTAINLY HAVE RECEIVED CUBAN GOVERNMENT APPROVAL,
[441]AND THE GROUP MUST HAVE INCLUDED CUBAN SECURITY PERSONNEL. )
[442]ALCIDES TOLD ROQUE THAT ON HIS RETURN TO CUBA, HE ATTENDED THE
[443]FUNERAL FOR A SISTER (NFI) OF FIDEL CASTRO AND DELIVERED THE
[444]FUNERAL ORATION. FOLLOWING THE FUNERAL, HE WAS OBSERVED TO BE
[445]EMBRACED BY MINISTER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMED FORCES GENERAL
[446]RAUL ((CASTRO)) RUZ.
