Dear Berit and Christian Lovschall:

 

Continuing my letter from April 24, 1998, I can inform you that the

promised, new note to Cuba has been presented today to the Cuban

"charge' d'affaires" in Copenhagen.

 

The note contains the following points:

 

- A request for information regarding what steps have been taken,

because of the murder of your son, to make changes in the instructions

given to armed guards;

 

- A request for information of what the Cuban authorities have

undertaken, as a result of this investigation, to begin a disciplinary -

or lawful - investigation of the guard who killed your son;

 

- A request for information regarding exactly what steps the Cuban

authorities have taken to effectively fence off the area where your son

was killed, as well as other military areas in Cuba;

 

- It is stated that a warning of the safety situation in Cuba is

maintained in the Danish travel guide for tourists planning to visit

Cuba. Also, that other EU countries have been encouraged to do the same;

 

- A request for a further explanation of why so much time elapsed,

between the time of your son's death and the moment when you were

notified about it;

 

- A request for available information regarding the missing U.S.

dollars, and also, further communication regarding your son's activities

in the last hours before he was killed.

 

Other than this, the note contains the usual diplomatic phrases of

courtesy.

 

We now await Cuba's answer. I will notify you as soon as their answer

becomes available.

 

Sincerely, Eva Janson
