Villa Marista

Villa Marista is the headquarters of the Cuban State Security Department (DSE), also known as the State Security Unit (Departamento de Seguridad del Estado), of the Ministry of the Interior (MININT), in Havana, Cuba. There is also a prison onsite, notorious for its detention of political prisoners. Its prisoners have included dissident Vladimiro Roca and politician Jesús Escandell. According to dissident journalist Abraham Jiménez Enoa, "Villa Marista generates more fear than anywhere else in the country. No one wants to go there or hear about it. Cubans say that, there, 'even mute people talk.' ”
