Cuban political prisoners seek family reinforcements

Several of the recently released Cuban political prisoners are asking to be allowed to bring more members of their families to Spain.



The Raul Castro government had imposed a cap on the number of people who could leave the island with them when they were freed from prison and sent into exile.



According to the Spanish news agency Efe, the dissidents say the Spanish Foreign Ministry has agreed to make efforts with Cuban officials to allow the group of additional relatives numbering around 30 people to travel to Madrid.
