PALMA SORIANO, Cuba, October 4 (Virgilio Delat La O, APLO / www.cubanet.org) - A human rights advocate who preferred a prison sentence to forced work on a farm was released last week alftr serving a 10-month sentence.

Edgar Furé Almarales, 32, was arrested November 20, 2004 by officers of the National Revolutionary Police who surrounded his house at 5 .a.m.

Days earlier State security agent Luis Noel Plutin had warned Furé Almarales that he could be arrested because of his opposition to the government.
