Jailed Cuban Writer, Extremely Ill, Hospitalized; May Be Freed - Normando Hernandez Gonzalez

“In the early morning hours of Sept. 14, jailed Cuban journalist Normando Hernandez Gonzalez was transferred across the island nation from Kilo 7, a prison in Camaguey, to Carlos J. Finlay military hospital in Havana.

The move of the critically ill writer came after several months of growing international protests on his behalf. It was confirmed yesterday by Hernandez Gonzalez’s mother, Blanca Gonzalez, and wife, Yarai Reyes, speaking with representatives of the PEN American Center, which has been monitoring the case.”
