MADRID, Spain.- The defense of the Cuban political prisoner Andy García Lorenzo presented a request for conditional release this week in the criminal chamber of the Provincial Court of Villa Clara.
As explained to Radio Television Martí The young man’s mother, Tayrí Lorenzo Prado, for the application contract was made last Friday and the presentation was made on Monday.
“The lawyer told me that this can take approximately seven days for them to tell him, sometimes it is a little more, a little less, but we know that they delay it,” said Tayrí Lorenzo.
The mother declared that if parole is denied, she will report her situation through social networks, since the young man meets all the requirements for it to be granted.
“It is a decision that I made, if they deny it, I am going to ‘warm up’ the networks. I hope they don’t deny it, because there are no reasons, he is practically halfway through his sentence. Based on the accounts that they (the Cuban regime) draw up, they can already approve the conditional release, ”he said in this regard.
Andy García, 24 years old, was violently detained on July 11, 2021 and sentenced to four years in prison for participating in the popular protests that day in Santa Clara. In May 2022 he was released for five days, and returned to prison, this time to a work camp for inmates. The young man has refused to work and the prison authorities keep him isolated from the rest of the inmates.
Due to the constant denunciations and expressions of support, the family of Andy García Lorenzo has remained under harassment by the Cuban repressive organs.
Pedro and Jonatan López, human rights activists in Cuba, and father-in-law and brother-in-law, respectively, of Andy García, they were taken into exile last November.
