Review:
One of the charges for which González Alfonso was sentenced was for alledgely violating Law #88 of 1999. This law is commonly known as the ‘muzzle law’. Journalistic activities in communist Cuba are strongly persecuted and reprimanded by the government. González Alfonso reports have been published by many print media entities including Free Cuba, Cubanet, Revista Hispano –Cubana. He has also appeared on Radio Martí dennouncing the daily struggles cuban citizens suffer at the hand of Castro’s government. In August González Alfonso was hospitalizad in Camagüey because of hepatitis. His family is very concerned about his health condition and the manner in which the authorities treat him and other political prisoners in Cuba.
