Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta is a hero
Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta is a hero, as a journalist, as a Cuban and as a man. Despite the cruelties he suffers as a political prisoner in the castro gulag, he has maintained and strengthened his dignity.
Miscelaneas de Cuba has published photographs of Herrera while he was on furlough to attend services for his 13-year-old daughter, who was killed in a traffic accident last month. (Details of his temporary release were not included in the report.)
To learn more about Herrera, one of the more intransigent members of the Group of 75 imprisoned during the "black spring" of 2003, read here and here.
