Church: Cuba to free 4 more prisoners into exile
The Associated Press
HAVANA -- The Roman Catholic Church has announced that Cuba is releasing
four more opposition prisoners and sending them and their families into
exile in Spain.
The men have been identified as Felipe Ramon Pino, Osmel Aguilera, Juan
Junior Padron, and Rafael Jorrin.
They are not among a group of 10 nonviolent dissidents remaining in
Cuban jails from a 2003 crackdown on dissent. The release was announced
Friday by church spokesman Orlando Marquez.
Little is known about Pino. Aguilera was serving a 30-year sentence for
sabotage, and Jorrin and Padron were in jail for hijacking and other
charges. Cuba is clearing its jails of many opposition figures.
