Adriana Pérez: We are keeping alive the hope that they will return 

Thelife of her husband, Gerardo Hernández, has all the elements of a movie. Leaving behind his family and work, using a false identity, he infiltrated terrorist groups to help stop planned attacks on the Cuban people. The Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez delivered a letterto President Clinton from Fidel Castro outlining criminal activities underway in Florida. Informed of the situation, the FBI decided to arrest five Cubans gathering information on groups like Brothers to the Rescue. One of these men was Gerardo, who was convicted by a jury in Miami and sentenced to two life terms in prison. 

But his story is as a real life one. Adrianais firm in her explanation of the issues, but her voice cannot belie emotion when she recalls the man behind the hero. As we say goodbye, sheasks, with a smile, if I think the media in the United States will publish the interview. 

Do you think that the sentences your husbands received were a reward granted to anti-Castro forces in Florida? 

Weare totally convinced of that, since in the U.S. even self-confessed spies have been traded or deported or have been given much lighter sentences that the ones they [the Five] were given. *http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?a=B5pBFEWSrcE:_Sur0I93KXk:yIl2AUoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?a=B5pBFEWSrcE:_Sur0I93KXk:qj6IDK7rITs) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?i=B5pBFEWSrcE:_Sur0I93KXk:F7zBnMyn0Lo (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?a=B5pBFEWSrcE:_Sur0I93KXk:F7zBnMyn0Lo) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?i=B5pBFEWSrcE:_Sur0I93KXk:gIN9vFwOqvQ (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ml2day-recent?a=B5pBFEWSrcE:_Sur0I93KXk:gIN9vFwOqvQ)
