The National Office of Public Defense has indicted District Attorney Juan Manuel Fernandez whom they accuse of the illegal imprisonment of individuals who were favored with release warrants. The indictment was filed at the Attorney General’s Department by defense attorneys Jacinto Castillo Moronta, Evelin Torres, Yaskara Vargas and Dilexy Abreu, who indicated that four individuals favored by habeas corpus sentences are still being kept in prison arbitrarily. Three of the detainees are Jorge Antonio Veloz Encarnacion, Arcadio Tejada Sosa and Hector Pimentel who were freed by the Fourth Criminal Court on 13 October 2005 after paying bail assigned by the Second and Fourth Court of Instruction. According to the lawyers, the Justice Department has refused to sign the contracts with the insurance companies impeding the release of the defendants, and is thus keeping them illegally in prison.
