US embassy cable - 03SANTODOMINGO5074

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Poloff delivered reftel talking points by email and fax to 
Ambassador for Human Rights Anabella de Castro on September 
15.  Talking points were also sent on September 16 to Indotel 
President and Secretary of State for Telecommunications 
Orlando Jorge Mera.  Mr. Mera assured Poloff that he would 
send talking points to Indotel representatives in Geneva. 
According to Ambassador de Castro, Indotel traditionally 
takes the government's lead on freedom of the press issues, 
not the Foreign Ministry.  At first glance, neither 
Ambassador de Castro nor Mr. Mera expressed any potential 
problems.
