(Raul Castro, head of state and Fidel Castro's brother. Fidel Castro was the head of state until he fell sick, and his brother had to replaced him)April 07, 2011
A total of 37 Cuban ex-political prisoners and more than 200 relatives arrived on Friday to Madrid. Spain started accepting dissidents last summer.
Totally, 245 people arrived on an overnight flight from Havana on a plane rented by the Spanish government.
Cuba has released 75 dissidents arrested in 2003, under an agreement reached between Cuban President Raul Castro and Havana Cardinal Jaime Ortega. Spain facilitated that accord. So far Spain has accepted 40 of those dissidents since last July. Friday's group is separate from the 75, except for one man.
Cuba considers all the dissidents that has released that are common criminals financed by the United States to unify to destabilize Cuban government.
