MIAMI HERALD/ Even after officials sent dissident doctor Darsi Ferrer home to serve the remaining 4 months of his 15-month conviction, Ferrer said he would NOT accept the sentence for illegal possession of building materials. He vowed to continue dissident activities.
`Today my compromise with the Cuban people is higher than when they sent me to prison,'' he told El Nuevo Herald in a telephone interview from Havana. ``I know that many [dissident] brothers and thousands of other Cubans remain in prison in sub-human conditions." The U.S. praised Cuba for releasing Ferrer but said he should not have been jailed for 11 months while he waited for his day in court.
