President. after years of suffering the injustice of the Cuban penal system. these former prisoners are now facing what can only be called an unjust policy decision by the U.S. Government. Incredibly our State Department. in a misguided attempt to pressure the Cuban Government to rein. state the December 14 immigration accord is denying these men asylum in the United States. I certainly want the immigration accord reinstated but punitive action against men who have suffered at the hands of Castro is hardly the way to go about it. I believe that by denying these political prisoners asylum we punish the innocent for the actions of the guilty. This does not make sense and to my mind it wont lcerage the Cuban Government to do anything.
