New Motion in favor of René González filed / Presentada nueva moción a favor de René González6/27/2012 He offers to renounce his U.S. Citizenship to return to Cuba On Friday June 22, René González Sehwerert presented a new motion before the South Florida District Court asking that they modify his conditions of supervised release and that he be allowed to return to his country of Cuba where his family resides. González was released on October 7, 2011, after serving his entire sentence in a U.S. federal prison, but he has been obligated to remain three more years under supervised probation on U.S. soil. In the latest motion presented last week, González included a number of reasons to be allowed to complete the rest of his probation in Cuba. On this occasion, González offered the Court that he would renounce his U.S. citizenship to make it clear that he has no intention of remaining or returning in the future to the United States. A similar motion to this latest one was presented by González before he was released from prison. Then, the Judge found that the Defendant's Motion was premature because a term of supervised release does not commence until an individual is "released from imprisonment", and some amount of time on supervised release needs to pass before the Court is able to properly evaluate the characteristics of the defendant once he or she has been released from prison. After 8 months of complying with all probation requisites, René González asks to modify the conditions of his probation to be allowed to return to Cuba to be reunited with his wife, his daughters and the rest of his family. The United States cannot persist in keeping René González, who when asked to resign his citizenship, expressed firmly that he is neither interested in living in the United States, nor in returning to this country where he has no working, social, or family links. What arguments will the State Department use next to continue the unjust punishment of René? Read the Motion

González fue puesto en libertad el 7 de octubre de 2011, después de cumplir la totalidad de su sentencia en una prisión federal de EEUU, pero ha sido obligado a permanecer por 3 años más bajo libertad supervisada en territorio de Estados Unidos. En la reciente moción presentada, su abogado argumenta las razones para que se le permita cumplir el resto de su probatoria en Cuba. En esta ocasión, González le ofrece a la Corte renunciar a su ciudadanía estadounidense para dejar claro que no tiene intención de permanecer o regresar en el futuro a los EEUU. Una moción similar a la actual fue presentada por González antes de salir de prisión. En aquel momento la Jueza alegó que se requería que cumpliera un periodo de su libertad supervisada para valorar su comportamiento. Después de 8 meses de haber cumplido con todos los requisitos de su probatoria, René González solicita modificar su condición de probatoria para que se le permita regresar a Cuba junto a su esposa, sus hijas, y el resto de su familia. Estados Unidos no puede persistir en la retención de René González, quien al solicitar la renuncia de su ciudadanía expresa de manera rotunda que no le interesa vivir en los EEUU, ni regresar a ese país donde no tiene vinculo laboral, social, ni familiar alguno. ¿Qué argumentos utilizará ahora el Departamento de Estado para continuar el injusto castigo a René?
