Marianao. Ciudad Habana. Review: García Farah is one of the many young Cubans whose aspirations and freedom have been practically imposible to attain due to the communist government. García Farah was arrested for trying to leave his country and was tried by the Popular Tribunal in Havana. When Pope John Paul II visited Cuba in 1998, he presented the Cuban government with a list of political prisoners and asked for clemency on their behalf. García Farah was included in the list and denounced the manner in which the cuban authorities had handled the Pope’s petition and was placed in solitary confinement. In his letters, García Farah has told of the numerous abuses carried out by the prison authorities on his person and other political prisoners.
