SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile says it will take in Cuban dissidents
released by the communist government.
A spokeswoman for Foreign Minister Alfredo Moreno says he is trying to
help liberate Cuba's dissidents.
The Cuban government has agreed to gradually free 52 prisoners last week
after meeting with Cuba's Roman Catholic Cardinal Jaime Ortega, and 17
have accepted asylum in Spain.
Moreno made the offer to Spain's foreign minister, who brokered the
meeting. His spokeswoman spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity because
she cannot be named under ministry policy.
Moreno did not talk to Cuban officials directly. Cuba has not commented
on its promised release of political prisoners.
