Diplomats from 5 European Union embassies visit wife of jailed Cuban political activist

Representatives from five European Union embassies in Cuba visited the wife of jailed political opposition activist Darsi Ferrer on Thursday, but insisted their visit was not political.Diplomats from Sweden, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland and Germany saw Ferrer’s wife, Yusnaimy Jorge Soca, at her Havana home and brought donated items including food and clothing. The group said it organized the visit on its own and had not been invited by the couple. “This is a gesture of solidarity; it’s not a political act,” said Ingemar Cederberg, deputy chief of the Swedish Embassy. He said keeping an eye on the country’s human rights situation is “part of our job here.”
