Cardenal Ortega is certainly looking out for his lord and master, castro, inc. After Cuban state thugs beat the defiant and now paraplegic former political prisoner, and that negative news hit the Internet, the Cardinal helped the regime see the error of their ways, and now they've had a change of heart. Bastards, the only reason he needs medical treatment is due to the torture and mistreatment he suffered as a political prisoner.

Ariel Sigler Amaya after castro care in the gulag:
Regime gives Permit to Leave the Country to Ariel Sigler Amaya after the intercession of Cardinal Ortega
Radio Marti informs [in Spanish] that after yesterday's assault, and subsequent phone call from Cuban Cardinal and La Habana's Archbishop Jaime Ortega. Ariel's wife, Oelia, explained to Radio Martí that Ortega had called to tell her that he had personally interceded with the authorities for Ariel, and that they would be contacting her soon to confirm. They called her today. She stated that despite the outcome, she was not happy given "the high price that must be paid in Cuba to be able to leave the country."
One thing is very clear, now is not the time to bail out this bankrupt brutal dictatorship, but to end it, and the castro brothers atrocities against the Cuban people permanately. ¡YA NO MÁS!
