The Cuban regime “freed” two more political prisoners from the Black Spring Group: Héctor Maseda, husband of the Lady in White Laura Pollan, and Ángel Moya, husband of Berta Soler, also a Lady in White.
All this has been made possible by the efforts of the Ladies in White, the sacrifice of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, the long hunger strike of Guillermo Fariñas, all the efforts of the internal Cuban opposition, and also international solidarity (from exiled Cubans and also non-Cuban friends).
But it’s important to note that despite this good news there are still 7 prisoners of conscience from the Group of 75 behind bars:
Pedro Arguelles Moran
José Ferrer García
Oscar Elías Biscet
Librado Linares García
Diosdado González Marrero
Iván Hernández Carrillo
Félix Navarro Rodríguez
Also we should note that in addition to these 7 courageous prisoners, there are other political prisoners who are not part of the Group of 75, and Cuban prisons. Freedom for all the political prisoners in Cuba, without conditions!!
Please see Pedazos de la Isla / Pieces from the Island, for more news about the political prisoners in Cuba and the bloggers who appear in translation in Translating Cuba. Voices Behind the Bars is the blog of the prisoners still in prison, and Cuban Voices From Exile, is a blog from some of the released prisoners now in exile.
