1. (C) ON JULY 6 UNHCR REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE OLUSEYI
BAJULAIYE, SPEAKING FROM LUSAKA, INFORMED DCM THAT CUBAN
DOCTORS LEONEL CORDOVA RODRIGUEZ AND NORIS DEL CARMEN
PENA MARTINEZ WERE RELEASED TO THE CUSTODY OF UNHCR ON
JULY 5. BAJULAIYE SAID THAT ZIMBABWEAN GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS DID SO QUIETLY AND WITHOUT EXPLANATION. THE
PAIR ARE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE IN A HOUSE IN HARARE AND
PLAN TO TRAVEL TO SWEDEN ON JULY 7, ACCORDING TO THE
REGIONAL UNHCR REPRESENTATIVE. THEY WILL DEPART HARARE
ABOARD A BRITISH AIRWAYS FLIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY THE LOCAL
UNHCR REPRESENTATIVE, JOHN ADU. BAJULAIYE ASKED THAT WE
TREAT THIS INFORMATION AS CLOSE-HOLD UNTIL THE COUPLE
LEAVES HARARE. (NOTE: IRINA SCHOULGIN, FIRST SECRETARY
OF THE SWEDISH EMBASSY IN HARARE, CONFIRMED TO DCM ON
JULY 6 THAT HER GOVERNMENT IS EXPECTING THE COUPLE'S
ARRIVAL AND ALREADY HAS PLACED SWEDISH VISAS IN THEIR
PASSPORTS. END NOTE.)


2. (SBU) ALSO ON JULY 6 WE RECEIVED VIA FAX FROM THE
OFFICE OF CONGRESSWOMAN ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN (R-FLORIDA)
A COPY OF A PERSONAL LETTER TO DR. NORIS PENA FROM HER
RELATIVES IN MIAMI, WITH A REQUEST TO ASSIST IN
DELIVERY. WE FORWARDED A COPY OF THE LETTER TO UNHCR'S
JOHN ADU THE SAME DAY.
