Poet-Librarian Released from prison

Friends of Cuban Libraries writes “In Slate Paul Berman (“Free at last! What Raul Rivero’s release from prison means for Cuba”) comments on the liberation of the renowned Cuban journalist and poet who is also an independent librarian. Excerpt: “Havel has written that every meeting, every conference, every protest on behalf of the Cuban dissidents is a step toward freedom in Cuba. Apparently there have been enough of these steps to get Rivero… out of jail. That leaves merely 62 other imprisoned dissidents to go, not to mention the cause of the independent librarians in Cuba (who have just now opened 14 new independent libraries – a bold thing to do….)””
