CUBAN national hero Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo was elected to the country’s Council of State today almost six years to the day after he was released from prison in the US.
Mr Hernandez was elected to fill a vacancy in the body which oversees the work of the National Assembly of People’s Power and is accountable to the Cuban parliament after the resignation of Carlos Rafael Miranda.
His nomination was presented by Candidacy Commission president Maria Consuelo Baeza, and more than 500 Cuban deputies debated and voted in a secret ballot during a session of the National Assembly.
Mr Hernandez was one of the Miami Five group of Cubans jailed by the US in 1998 on espionage charges after they tried to prevent terrorist attacks against the island.
Cardinal Pell, publicizing new book, forgives enemies, praises Trump
Forgiveness is a recurring theme of the former Vatican official’s prison journal, and he told reporters that if anyone in the Vatican meant him harm, ‘I will pray for them.’ Cardinal George Pell answers a journalist’s question during an interview with The Associated Press inside his residence near the Vatican in Rome on Nov. 30, 2020. The pope’s former treasurer, who was convicted and then acquitted of sexual abuse in his native Australia, said he feels a dismayed sense of vindication as the financial mismanagement he tried to uncover in the Holy See is now being exposed in a spiraling Vatican corruption investigation.
