Cuban
rafters held in Jamaica
HAVANA, August 6 (www.cubanet.org) - Nine Cuban
rafters, two of them government opponents, have
been held by Jamaican immigration authorities
since they reached the island three weeks ago.
Relatives in Cuba of the two government opponents,
Erasmo Vázquez and Aris Vidal, fear that
if they are returned to Cuba, they could be condemned
to long prison sentences.
Vázquez and Vidal are members of the Liberal
Democratic Party of Cuba. At least two members
of the party were sentenced to 18 and 20 years
in prison in April.
