A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. District Court in Atlanta ruled June 1 that Cuban six-year-old Elián González is not entitled to a political asylum hearing here. In violation of Cuba's sovereignty, the U.S. government has since November refused to return the child to his country. The Miami relatives who filed the asylum claim now have 12 days to appeal the court decision. The injunction barring Elián González from returning to Cuba remains in effect at least until then. Every supporter of workers rights, Cuban sovereignty, democratic freedoms, and basic human solidarity should continue to press for the end of any restriction on his return to Cuba.   Home | Text-version home
