Rene Gonzalez 5 offered a rare moment of relaxation between the two countries. It is also hoped Cuban may respond with the humanitarian branch of the jailed Us contractor Alan Gross, whose imprisonment has torpedoed the cold war, the enemies of the convergence of hope.
Gross has asked to be allowed to return to visit his mother and adult daughter of the United States authorities, both of which are cancer and his supporters are looking for Christopher Pope Benedict XVI to the goodwill of the business, and the possibility of the visit to Cuba next week.
Gonzalez is one of the so-called Cuban five, who had been convicted of espionage in Cuba, human rights organisations and to try to infiltrate into South Florida at military installations and impurities in political campaigns. He was released last year after serving 15 years of a sentence was to remain in the United States, but most of the supervised release for three years.
Phil Horowitz, Miami criminal defense attorney is based on, which is represented in the Gonzalez since 1998 to comply with the order of the judge, said Gonzalez file, including travel plans he intends to review, with the names and addresses of the persons to the paper work and intends to make the trip as soon as possible.
"He is happy, he will be able to see his brother, he is in need of his time," Horowitz said. "As you have always said my motions, this is not a political request, this is a pure humanitarian request."
Gonzalez, two Cuban-American citizen, whose brother is the authorisation laid down by the judgment of the lung cancer to return within two weeks.
"If he does not, he is going to have an international pariah," the lawyer said. "No. 2, the four companies of his countrymen in the United States prison system interaction, which in the end is going to be to get released. If he does not follow the case law of the Court of Justice may also affect badly to them, and he is just not wish to do so. "
Cuban and US officials have been in the past, Horowitz claimed that Gonzalez and the cases are separate.
Philip Peters, for a long period of Cuba-analyst Virginia-based Lexington Institute, Lexington Institute, said, however, the similarities of the gross, 62-year-old Gonzalez and Maryland, who was arrested in December 2009, while working with the Cuban Jewish communities to improve their Internet connection. Gross was convicted last year of crimes against the State and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
"Is parallel to the situation, where Gonzalez and Gross family, (a) cancer," Peters said. "Both are asked for a brief visit, and you both were promised that they will be returned to contribute."
"One of the was granted, and the other is pending."
But since the rights involved in the judicial branch, rather than the Executive, it is hard to interpret this in the wider context of the humanitarian agreement, Washington and Havana to the beginning of it.
"It is certainly an interesting twist when Cuba has said that they are interested in, in the form of humanitarian operations," Peters said. "But the United States has made a positive gesture, and in fact, (Obama) Administration was opposed to it. ... It should be a little bit difficult to diplomats from the United States, and try to get something out of this amount, around the clock. "
Court filings last week, Justice Department argued against a return to the island, on the grounds that he could get the new spyware help Cuban intelligence officials of Gonzalez.
Department spokesman Dean Boyd declined to comment on whether there was a change in the works in Washington on Tuesday.
Gonzalez's lawyer has said the Cuban-American dual national is as for the election of the Board of a private home, but did not reveal any of his concerns about the location of the customer's safety.
The Cuban authorities had initially a quiet information, with the exception of the short, matter-of-fact article on the State of the Media, the Court, if the Cuban five are constantly test the device and cause celebre.
The Government's comment, and the right to consult the Gonzalez's wife, Olga Salanueva was granted immediately.
Antonio Castro, son of former President Fidel Castro, said, "imagine the happiness of Cuba is of the opinion that (after) Rene of humanitarian visas to visit his brother," the Associated Press to unrelated parties in the Conference.
"This is a very long fight. It has and we have to keep moving forward, "Castro said. "But, of course, it is the personal satisfaction."
