The truth and justice for René González Sehwerert / Para que se conozca la verdad de René González Sehwerert y se haga justicia

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.

René González
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.

Para que se conozca la verdad de René González Sehwerert y se haga justicia

En la sentencia que le impusieron a René incluyeron este requisito inaudito: “Como una condición especial adicional de la libertad supervisada se le prohíbe al acusado acercarse a/o visitar lugares específicos donde se sabe que están o frecuentan individuos o grupos terroristas”.

En una reciente entrevista a Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada, presidente de la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular, a Trabajadores, en ocasión de cumplirse 13 años del injusto encierro de los Cinco antiterroristas cubanos en cárceles de Estados Unidos, el periodista Rafael Hojas Martínez, le preguntó sobre la libertad supervisada que pretenden cumpla René González Sehwerert en el sur de la Florida y el enorme peligro que eso significa para su vida. Granma reproduce ese fragmento.

Ha trascendido que René González será liberado el próximo 7 de octubre si se aplica el beneficio por buena conducta y a partir de ese momento comenzaría el periodo de libertad supervisada. ¿Quién "supervisará" a los terroristas de Miami para que René no sea víctima de una acción criminal y pueda regresar sano y salvo a su patria? René corre un enorme peligro.

"Debo aclarar que René no deberá salir de la prisión el 7 de octubre por buena conducta o porque reciba algún beneficio. Esa es exactamente la fecha establecida en la injusta sentencia que le fue impuesta. Su abogado defensor ha solicitado a la jueza Lenard que le permita regresar a Cuba inmediatamente donde está su familia. Obligarlo a permanecer allá tres años más es prolongar un castigo inmerecido y por supuesto sería una situación muy riesgosa para él.

"La salida de René de la prisión coloca a la administración Obama en una situación, por decir lo menos, incómoda y lo mejor para los actuales gobernantes norteamericanos sería que René vuelva lo más rápido a nuestro país. Recuerda que por insistencia del régimen de W. Bush en la sentencia que le impusieron a René incluyeron este requisito inaudito: ‘Como una condición especial adicional de la libertad supervisada se le prohíbe al acusado acercarse a/o visitar lugares específicos donde se sabe que están o frecuentan individuos o grupos terroristas.’

"Esa prohibición es la prueba más escandalosa de la complicidad de aquel régimen con los peores terroristas que, por cierto, abundan en Miami. El presidente Obama tiene que decidir ahora si él también se va a ocupar de ‘proteger’ de René a los terroristas como quería W. Bush."
