Attorney General Abel Rodríguez del Orbe ordered the release from prison of Retired General Salvador Lluberes Montás (Chinino), who is suspect of participating in the murder of journalist Orlando Martínez more than 20 years ago. The General suffers from cancer of the prostate and would like to travel to the US for medical treatment. The Attorney General said that Article 419 of the Penal Code allows him to release inmates that suffer from terminal sicknesses and cannot be treated in government hospitals. General Lluberes had been under arrest at the Ministry of Armed Forces. The General said that he would try to recover his health to attend the court and demonstrate his innocence.
