"My father gathered abundant evidence on the activities of those groups operating with impunity in Florida with tacit support of local government officials who looked the other way before their illegal conspirators to carry out armed attacks on Cuban soil", he said in his letter.
Landau recalled the combattants were condemned in 2001 to long sentences and their excarceration would contribute to normalizad relations between Washington and Havana.
