More lists of Cuban prisoners are drawn, given to Madrid in hopes of intercession
11.10.2010
Three Cuban émigré groups in Spain have asked the Spanish government to accept their list of dissidents now in Cuban prisons and work toward their release.
According to the news agency EFE, the groups are Cuba Democracy Now, the National Front of Cuban Political Prisoners, and the Demobilized Army of National Liberation.
Their request came at the end of a three-day meeting in Madrid in which they discussed the status of the opposition movement on the island and the outlook for a post-Castro Cuba.
Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos recently said he would welcome a new list of political prisoners so the Spanish government could review it and intercede for them in Havana. Spain's opposition Popular Party already has given him a list of 28 names.
