ing here. They prowl the
scattered Cuban colonies
around the downtown area.
In New York, an estimated
20 to 80 are at work. Similar
agents are on the job in other
United States cities with large
Latin or Cuban populations.
Their assignment: To make
sure the same thing doesn't
happen to Premier Castro that
happened to his predecessor,
Fulgencio Batista.
During the Batista regime,
the revolutionary elements In
Cuba obtained nearly all their
weapons and supplies illegally
through New York and Miami.
Fidel Castro remembers that
well, and doesn't intend to
trust United States customs
alone with stopping movement
Of anti Castro weapons.
Little Investigation
In Cuba, the most disturbing
thing about the operation Of
the new system of justice is
that little or no investigation
follows arrests by DER agents.
DIER's big brother, the mill
tary tribunals, sit in trial on
the accused, often after they
already have the signal for a
preconceived verdict.
Take my arrest and my
trial" as an example.
I sat in a secret police cell
for IL days with no formal
charges fled
The Cuban Supreme Court
had been asked to decide
whether a civilian or military
court had Jurisdiction in my
case.
On the seventh day of my
Imprisonment, while the Su-
preme Court was studying my
case, the Premier attacked me
in a television appearance and
announced that a military tri-
bunal would try me.
IF the courts condemn
Buchanan, he will be detained
here. Or perhaps, what Is
better, the courts will order
him deported, never to return
to Cuba to molest us any
more" he said.
They Got Signal
The military tribunal had
the signal for my case. The
only question remaining was
the timing.
On the 18th day Of my i'm
prisonment in Havana, I was
hustled out Of my cell at 4:3C
pm. and escorted to Pinar de-
Rio military prison, 100 miles
away.
Only after I arrived was !
told my trial would start at
8 pm.
I met the attorney who was
to defend me Just so minutes
before my trial began.
Five military Judges" heard
my case. Only one Of them
had any legal training. AL
were below 80 in age.
For four houts they staged

At the conclusion. the five
judges deliberated less than %
minutes, including the time II
took to type up a lengthy ex-
