RE:

CUBAN REBEL ACTIVITIES IN CUBA

ALL INDORZATION CONTALNED

HERBIN IS UNCLASSIRIAD EXCEET

WHERE SHOWN OTHERWISE.

It is noted the "Diario Las Americas", a Spanish

language newspaper published in Miami, in its issue of

September 28, 1962, carried the following article:

"75 Shot for Attack Against Castro

"New York, Sept. 27 (UPI) --Information from Cuba re-

ceived by private individuals in this city, is to

the effect that 75 persons were executed and 28

condemned to long prison terms, charged with plan-

ning to assassinate Prime Minister Fidel Castro

and other government officials.

"According to this information, the execu-

tions were carried out at La Cabana Prison, three

each day, during the last few weeks.

"Exiled Cuban students in Mexico stated that

there is a new 'internal rebellion' in Cuba.

Masonic leaders based in Mexico stated on Tuesday

that two Cuban Masons were shot and wounded, and

at least 300 were arrested, when troops broke up

a Masonic meeting on Saturday night.

"Jose Esquivel Pren, Mexican Mason, stated

that at least five thousand Masons have been ar-

rested throughout Cuba in a campaign by Castro

against this fraternal group."

Re: Cuban Rebel Activities in Cuba

On October 5, 1962, MM T-1, who has furnished re-

liable information in

the past, advised the information set

forth below was received by him through (clandestine channels

(5]

from a source in Havana, Cubal whom he regarded as reliable

and anti-Castro.

This information possibly relates to the

action described in the above newspaper article.

During the month of September, 1962, 94 indiv-

iduals were executed and buried in the main cemetery in

Havana.

On September 29, 1962, 22 more were to be buried

there, but they were taken instead to an undisclosed location.

A great deal of concern is expressed as the Cuban

Government continues to detain people without trial and

nothing further is heard of them until a notice is posted

that such

and such a person was executed because of anti-

government activities.

Some individuals who had guns hidden have been

forced to dispose of them due to the activities of the

neighborhood "Defense Committees".
