After the announcement that the political prisoners from the “Group of 75” would be released, many questions remain. Claudia Cadelo has very good ones in a post on her blog :
“It bothers me deeply, horribly, to see the sleight of hand that has been shown to the voices of civil society in pursuit of a policy so opportunistic towards those who live in my country today: the release of the innocents. At what point in history was the dialog between the Church and the Cuban government, and with Moratinos left as mediator? When will the prisoners who want to live in Cuba be released? Why, in an international airport, don’t ‘free people’ board the plane like the rest of the passengers? If they can come to Cuba whenever they want, why couldn’t they say goodbye to their friends today, or stop and have a cup of coffee at home before leaving the island?”
If you want to read the whole post (and you should do so), you can read it here. And you can enjoy to discover her blog, if you do not know it yet. That is a great point of view of the Cuban life and reality nowadays. Then you can go on Pablo Pacheco’s blog, who has already been released and has had his blog from the jail during the latest months, with the help of Claudia. Such a good news he has been released, I look forward to seeing his first impressions from Spain.
