8:13 pm
that didn't happen and the jury found them guilty of all twenty six counts including conspiracy to commit espionage conspiracy to commit murder and acted as agents of a foreign government here in the united states. and besides the trial were lost in several months the benedict well surprise was just announced in a few minutes then in december two thousand won all five members of the group received different sentences but not on rene gonzalez the two that already the alps called nineteen and fifteen years and don't you get it all the more i like the noble life in prison. this received two life sentences to be served consecutively the cuban government's response then over the years it has gone on for. he now is so long i was like the swans maintenance incarceration but since been going on since nineteen ninety eight and they basically the cuban government has a mole always had a different position at a very different point of view and will they pull away said

8:15 pm
the festival you're absolutely right it's not only the cuban officials that the cuban people around the world of albion for their release and what to bolster the amnesty international criticized in the us but necessary punitive actions toward some of the cuban five no broad term visas to their relatives so that they can come and visit them here in the us the united nations commission of human rights stated also that of the trial did not take place in the climate of all chipped in to cnn cost of a tape that is required in order to confirm that the standards of a fair trial such as the middle of pressure but honestly it's britney and fernando gonzalez have completed their sentences and they just all the standard production for the comeback said. i don't think in these two places him at the end that was was was was not. activists will they insisted they can to keep on fighting for those three members of the group the state imprisoned we have seen some reductions than in two of those cases. so some efforts have definitely been
8:16 pm
heard in washington. i love the sentiment and a reaction to all this but this could be a step toward better u s cuban relations go back to us that cuban relations that is a very very deep and complex problem that it's only you know that many crossed interest between these two countries but because there is such an option in strong cuban community live in a care in the us in specifically here in miami also south florida that many times. no one gets the sensation that these can just get in the way of any possible improvement but at the same. it is such that the problem and we do try to tend them find unit at turning points that would trigger a change dr brady think the nations will change due to a single issue it's more a matter of oil in a compromise. absolutely well ali and time for our team episode on and from our miami city of indio. and two former guantanamo bay detainee is an act of french judge to
