TORONTO — Cuban officials have assured Cody LeCompte that a block on his
passport will be lifted by Wednesday.
The 19-year-old from Simcoe, Ont., has been unable to leave Cuba since a
car accident in late April.
Reached in Cuba, Gary Parmenter -- Cody's uncle -- said the family is
"cautiously optimistic" they will return Friday, after a new document
was signed Tuesday agreeing that Cody would return to Cuba for a trial.
Last week, the family posted bail for Cody and were expecting to return
home Tuesday.
However, at the last minute the family was informed that more documents
needed to be signed by various departments of the Cuban government.
Canada's Foreign Affairs department says the Canadian Ambassador to Cuba
met with Cuban officials Tuesday to discuss the case.
