Havana, (Prensa Latina).- Cuban hero Fernando Gonzalez was released today from a U.S. prison after serving his full, unjust and long sentence. Fernando was transferred from the Federal penitentiary of Safford, in Arizona, and placed in the hands of the Immigration Services to start the process of deportation to Cuba.
This is the second of the world-known Cuban Five to abandon imprisonment, after Rene Gonzalez, who had to serve an additional sentence of supervised freedom and returned to Cuba after renouncing to his U.S. citizenship.
Fernando, René, Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero and René Labañino, The Five, were arrested in 1998 while monitoring violent groups in United States territory where they planned and executed terrorist actions against Cuba.
Gerardo, Antonio and Ramon are still serving sentences in U.S. penitentiaries and a worldwide campaign demanding their freedom is being carried out.
