One of the Cuban Five Released from Prison / Ayer, a las 4:30 a.m. René salió de prisión

On Friday, October 7, at 4:30 a.m. Rene Gonzalez, one of the five Cuban men unjustly imprisoned in the United States, was released. Gonzalez will have to remain in Florida for three years on supervised release.

His two daughters, Irma and Ivette, his brother Roberto, his father Candido and his lawyer Phillip Horowitz were waiting for him outside the prison, Telesur Channel special envoy Aissa Garcia reported.

"Today, Rene Gonzalez has become the first of the five anti-terrorist fighters imprisoned in the United States to be released," said the reporter.

Lawyer Phillip Horowitz told the reporter that Rene Gonzalez is in good health, as a medical exam following his release showed.

Although he is free now, Gonzalez will not be able to return to Cuba because a judicial order obliges him to remain three more years in Florida on supervised release.

Horowitz told Telesur that although Rene Gonzalez had been released from a prison where he served his sentence and kept a good behavior, he still is a prisoner of the United States.

Rene Gonzalez will not be able to see his mother, Irma Sehweret, or his wife, Olga Salanueva because the United States denied them visas to go see him upon his release.

Ayer, a las 4:30 a.m. René salió de prisión

A las 4:30 de la madrugada de ayer salió René González de la cárcel de Marianna, Florida, aunque deberá permanecer en Estados Unidos bajo el régimen de libertad supervisada por tres años.

A la salida del penal lo esperaban sus dos hijas, Irma e Ivette, su hermano, Roberto, y su padre, Cándido, además de su abogado, Phillip Horowitz, informó la enviada especial de Telesur, Aissa García.

"El día de hoy René González se ha convertido en el primero de los Cinco antiterroristas cubanos presos en cárceles de Estados Unidos en ser liberado, en poner los pies fuera de la cárcel", reportó la periodista desde el lugar.

El abogado Phillip Horowitz dijo a la enviada especial que René González se encuentra en buen estado de salud luego de ser examinado tras su salida.

González, pese a salir de prisión, no podrá regresar a Cuba debido a una orden judicial que lo obliga a estar tres años más en libertad supervisada.

El jurista dijo a Telesur que René González sale de prisión, donde ha cumplido su sentencia con buen comportamiento, pero "no es totalmente libre, sigue siendo un prisionero de Estados Unidos", subrayó.

El cubano no puede ver a su madre, Irma Sehweret, ni a su esposa, Olga Salanueva debido a que el Gobierno de Estados Unidos no les otorgó la visa para esperar en la salida.
