Dissidents Arrested; U.S. Envoy Is Criticized
From Times Wire Reports
Cuba rounded up several dozen dissidents and in a statement on state television accused the chief of Washington’s diplomatic mission to Havana, James Cason, of trying “to foment the internal counterrevolution.”
No details of the arrests were given. Cason has met opposition members on the island, and Havana confirmed new travel restrictions on U.S. diplomats. Attempts to reach diplomats for comment were unsuccessful because offices were closed.
