Cubans Release Man Who Denounced Hunger On TV.

REUTERS/
The Cuban government released Juan Carlos Gonzalez Marcos, alias “Panfilo,” from prison after he was sentenced to two years behind bars for drunkenly denouncing food shortages on the communist-ruled island before television cameras. The 48-year-old Panfilo was released from prison and sent to a psychiatrist to be treated for alcoholism. He got international attention when his denunciation was posted on YouTube and viewed over 450,000 times.
