Rene Gonzalez Not North American Anymore

Cuban antiterrorist Rene Gonzalez announced that the U.S. Interests Section of United States in Havana handed him the certificate of loss of U.S. nationality.Now I am a Cuban citizen, a patriot of the island, which I always was, but this does not imply any hostility towards the people and the country where I was born, Gonzalez said at a press conference in the capital.

Being in Cuba does not mean at all that I am free because I will not be free while my four colleagues Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez remain confined only for saving lives, which is the most precious thing.

It is time to remind the world that we are still five as we were the first day and we are all like one, said Gonzalez.

I will not feel released until they do not come back with their families and people in general, he said.
