US called to release Cuban agents after ruling
Cuban Parliament Speaker Ricardo Alarcon has called on the US government to release five Cuban men serving long prison terms on espionage conspiracy charges after a US federal appeals court threw out their convictions and sentences.
Alarcon applauded yesterday’s ruling that said the men’s trial in Miami was not fair and impartial because of community prejudice and extensive media coverage. He insisted the men be liberated while awaiting a new trial.
