Viewing cable 07PARAMARIBO364, LACK OF INTERNET FREEDOM IN CUBA SURPRISES

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

SUBJECT: LACK OF INTERNET FREEDOM IN CUBA SURPRISES 
SURINAMESE OFFICIAL 
 
REF: SECSTATE 89911 
 
1.  EmbOff delivered message from reftel to Terence Craig, 
Head of the Americas Division of the Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs of the Government of Suriname (GOS), on July 10. 
EmbOff also dropped off copies of a Reporters Without Borders 
article on the lack of internet freedom in Cuba for Craig and 
co-workers.  Craig and a colleague at the meeting expressed 
surprise that internet freedom was so restricted in Cuba, and 
appeared interested in reading the article. 
 
2.  Post attempted to place the Reporters Without Borders 
article with local newspapers and stir coverage of the issue, 
but no subsequent coverage ensued.  NOTE: Surinamese 
newspapers regularly print information which appears to stem 
from Cuban and Venezuelan outlets.  While they are receptive 
to covering U.S.-held events or assistance, they rarely place 
State Department-generated material.  END NOTE 
 
3.  Post will report any further reaction from the GOS.
