6 Cuban activists released after more than 2 months in jail

Six Cuban political activists were released this week after 2 1/2 months in jail.

But this being Cuba under Castro, the authorities advised the six -- Víctor Campa Almenares, Alexis Aquirrazabal Rodríguez, Bismark Mustelier Galán, Miguel Cabrera Montoya, José Martínez Ferrer and Alexis Kuang Jerez -- they could still be prosecuted, "depending on their behavior."

The six, along with Nivaldo Amelo Ramirez, were beaten and arrested on Aug. 28, while attending a meeting at the home of activist Marino Antomarchit Rivero. There was no word on Amelo's status.
