HAVANA - Cuban leader Raul Castro said on Sunday that "nothing has
changed" concerning Cuba-US relations despite occasional and limited
bilateral talks on specific topics.
Castro told the parliament that the US blockade against Cuba is still in
place, and the five Cubans jailed in the United States on spy charges
"remain suffering unjust imprisonment."
Hernandez, along with Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino
and Fernando Gonzalez, was arrested in September 1998 in the US city of
Miami when monitoring actions of anti-Cuba groups.
The five are regarded as heroes in the island country.
Castro said there will not be impunity for enemies of Cuba, despite
Cuba's recent decision to release 53 inmates accused of serving as
mercenaries of Washington.
Cuba has insisted on the release of the five and the end of the 48-year
US trade and economic embargo if Washington wants to improve its
relations with the island country.
