Detained by recommendation of the Police. Is reported to have
been mistakenly detained for one RONALD CHARLES of River Road
and a common criminal. Was detained under authority of a
Detention Order in the name of "Ronald Charles". A check
with Criminal records office reveal that Randolph Charles
name was never listed as one of the common criminals to be detained,
but Ronald Charles was. Investigations have not established any
involvement in subversive or counter-revolutionary activity.
No charges are forthcoming. [Handwritten note - Behaviour
hostile in prison - counter-revolutionary in attitude -

Victor Husbands' note of 29 SEP 1981 Report said: NOTE: Stephen Cuffie, an Ex Policeman, is Vincentian by birth. His release had been sanctioned a few months ago on the basis of representations made by the St. Vincent Government and the Grenada Conference of Churches but due to the fact that he complained in a written statement, that he was subjected to torture and ill-treatment while held on Fort Rupert, it was decided to stay his release in the interests of unfavourable propaganda. His release was sanctioned at the time on the condition that he be deported to St. Vincent. It is suggested that he be released and allowed to remain in the country for at least one year after which time he may be deported. This might serve to counter any desire on his part to publicise the treatment he received on the Fort. In a report dated 14 DEC 1982, Victor Husbands wrote in part: Release was favourably considered in 1981 on representation of the St. Vincent Government through Archdeacon Huggins of the Anglican Church but final decision stayed on the ground of possible unfavourable propaganda.

Was a vendor of the said paper, but was convinced by Lloyd Noel that that paper was legal. Became vendor as a result. In view of prior trade union activities in which suspicion ran high of involvement in AIFLD and CIA covert initiatives and manoeuvres, in the region, which has been vigorously denied anyway, he has faithfully pledged to stay completely out of Trade Unionism and politics.
