Cuban journalists are expected to be among a group of seven political prisoners due to arrive in Spain today after their release in Havana.
They are the first tranche of 52 prisoners due to be released over the next three months by the government of Raul Castro in a deal brokered by the Spanish foreign ministry with the Cuban authorities and the island's Roman Catholic church.
A statement issued by the church identified 10 journalists as being among those about to be released. They are Normando Hernández González, Julio César Gálvez Rodríguez, Omar Ruíz Hernández, Mijail Bárzaga Lugo, Ricardo González Alfonso, Alfredo Pulido López, José Ubaldo Izquierdo, Léster Luis González Pentón, Pablo Pacheco Avila, and José Luis García Paneque.
