The truth and
justice for
René González Sehwerert
• The sentence handed
down to René included this unheard of requisite: "As
a special additional condition of his probation, the
accused is prohibited from associating with or
visiting specific places where individuals where
individuals or groups such as terrorists, members of
organizations advocating violence or organized crime
figures are known to frequent."
• IN
a recent interview which Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada,
President of the National Assembly of People's Power,
granted the Trabajadores newspaper on the
occasion of the five Cuban anti-terrorist completing
13 years of unjust incarceration in U.S. jails,
journalist Rafael Hojas Martínez asked him about the
supervised liberty that René González must submit to
in South Florida and the enormous danger to his life
implied by the requirement that he remain in the
United States. Granma reproduces this excerpt
below.
It
has been announced that René González will be
released on October 7 if dispensations for good
conduct are applied and from that moment will begin
his period of supervised liberty. Who will
"supervise" the Miami terrorists to avoid René
becoming the victim of a criminal act and being able
to return to his homeland safe and sound? René will
be running a tremendous risk.
I should clarify that René will not
be released from prison on October 7 for good
conduct or because of receiving some dispensation.
This is precisely the date established in the unjust
sentence handed down to him. His defense lawyer has
asked Judge Lenard to allow him to return to Cuba
and his family immediately. Obliging him to remain
there for a further three years is to prolong an
undeserved punishment and of course it will be a
highly risky situation for him.
René’s release places the Obama
administration in an uncomfortable situation – to
say the least – and the best thing for the current
U.S. governors would be for René to return to our
country as quickly as possible. Remember that it was
at the insistence of the W. Bush regime that the
sentence imposed on René should include that unheard
of requisite: ‘As a special additional condition of
his probation, the accused is prohibited from
associating with or visiting specific places where
individuals or groups such as terrorists, members of
organizations advocating violence or organized crime
figures are known to frequent.’
This prohibition is the most
scandalous proof of that regime’s complicity with
the worst of the terrorists who, without doubt,
abound in Miami. President Obama has to decide now
if he too is going to take care of ‘protecting’ René
from terrorists, as W. Bush wanted.
