Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Its not often that I get such good news immediately after posting a article but Gerardo Hernández is out of the hole! He and the other 4 of the Miami Five still need your support. More info at the link below.
Gerardo Hernández, Cuban Five hero, has just been released this morning from isolation after an intense campaign by his attorneys and thousands of supporters around the world, including nearly a thousand emails to the Bureau of Prisons generated by the National Committee's appeal.
Leonard Weinglass, one of Gerardo's attorneys, visited Gerardo this weekend along with fellow attorney Peter Schey. He described this morning to Gloria La Riva of the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five the abysmal and cruel conditions that Gerardo was placed in. "Gerardo is in great spirits but he's really suffering. In 100+ degree weather, the air was so stifling that Gerardo was laying on the floor sucking in air from the bottom of the door. He couldn't take his blood pressure medicine as his doctor advised him because the weather was too hot. He couldn't use the shower because it was scalding hot water. He was given dirty bedsheets, and he had to resort to washing them in the toilet."
Weinglass noted that "we sent a five-page letter to the prison containing all the errors that they made in putting him in isolation. The letter outlined their own regulations that they violated."
Moments later this morning, in a new phone call, Weinglass announced "they've just released him to the general population!"
Saludos a Gerardo.
The charge was 'Conspiracy'.
Piracy good: Con's piracy bad?
The only subversion Cuba exports is maybe the medical teams whose work exposes the miserable health vision of our corporate sickness industry that spends billions researching techniques to keep geriatric fat cats paying for artificial expansions to their fear of mortality while children die for lack of clean water, often polluted by our outsourced dirty indutries, including big pharma.
