(EFE) EFE family sources.
The authorities have informed the family that Real, 54, will be able to leave the Agüica prison in Matanzas this Thursday starting at 9:00 a.m. local time. He has spent 28 years and 5 months in jail out of the 30 he was sentenced to.
Two relatives plan to come to pick him up and then transfer him to the family home in Matanzas.
The prisoner’s mother, Graciela Suárez Díaz, explained to EFE that the Cuban authorities have urged Real to appear the day after his release at the local Migration offices to regularize his situation in the country.
Real was arrested in October 1994, at the age of 26, after disembarking in Cuba from the US in an armed expedition
The objective of Real and his, added Súarez, is to migrate to the United States as soon as possible, where a large part of his relatives reside, including Real’s brother and his daughter.
For crimes against state security and murder, Real was first sentenced to death, a sentence that was commuted in 2010 by the Supreme Court of Cuba to 30 years in prison.
Real was arrested in October 1994, at the age of 26, after disembarking in Cuba from the US in an armed expedition in which a civilian died.
He was subsequently convicted of the crimes of “acts against State Security”, “murder” and “discharge of firearms against a certain person”.
The group in exile Assembly of the Cuban Resistance (ARC), based in Miami, celebrated in a statement the possible release of this “valiant Cuban” and denounced that during his time in prison he was subjected “to countless mistreatment and tortures”.
