Cardinal Jaime Ortega last week met with Ernesto Borges, a political prisoner on hunger strike since early February to demand his freedom.
That same day, authorities cut off all communication between Borges and his family,according to the prisoner's father, Raul Borges.
Was it only a coincidence? Was it an attempt by the regime to up the pressure on a recalcitrant prisoner?
Or was it something much more nefarious, part of a manuevering by Ortega, in advance of Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the island later this month, to strike a deal with the Castro regime to bolster his clout at the expense of a political prisoner.
After all, it wouldn't be the first time that Cardinal Ortega looked after No. 1.
The answer, said Raul Borges, perhaps lies in the conservation between his son and the cardinal.
"Only the cardinal, Ernesto and the political police, which monitors all such conversations, knows," Borges said.

Esto es una injusticia y un crimen que se ha estado preparando contra el preso politico Ernesto Borges.
ResponderEliminarSi escuchamos o leemos la transcricion de la conversacion con Maria del Carmen Avila, esposa de Raul Borges, padre de Ernesto, la seguridad del estado( el regimen castrista) le advirti a raul, que si daba alguna informacion o denuncia del caso para el exterior, no le informarian mas sobre l situacion de su hijo, Ernesto Borges.
Yo le pido a todos los amigos y personas solidarias con la causa de Cuba, que no dejemos un instante que nos sea posible de twitear sobre esta triste situacion.
Ernesto lleva 14 an'os preso, tiene derecho a su libertad condicional y su huelga de hambre , exigiendo ese derecho lo llevara a la muerte, si antes la Iglesia no intercede seriamente ante un regimen asesino y criminal como todos sabemos.
Solidaridad especial con este hermano: Ernesto Borges Perez.
