Leader of Cuban opposition group visits exiles

One of the founders of a Cuban opposition group awarded Europe’s top human rights prize is meeting with exiles in Miami.

Berta Soler will visit the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami on Saturday.

Soler is a co-founder of the Ladies in White, a group of wives and mothers formed in 2003 after the arrests of 75 government opponents.

The Cuban government has detained the women from time to time and sent pro-government crowds to shout at them. But their demonstrations proved successful. All of the political prisoners arrested in the crackdown a decade ago have since been released.

Soler and other members accepted the European Union’s Sakharov Prize on Tuesday, eight years after receiving the award.

Mexican cartel ‘queen’ pleads guilty in US case

A Mexican woman known as a drug cartel queen has pleaded guilty in Miami to charges arising from a major cocaine trafficking case.

Court records show that Sandra Avila Beltran pleaded guilty Tuesday to being an accessory after the fact in an organization once headed by Juan Diego Espinosa Ramirez. He was her boyfriend at the time.

Espinosa is the former leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel. He pleaded guilty in 2009 to cocaine trafficking charges.

A statement signed by Avila, who was known as the “Queen of the Pacific,” says she provided money to Espinosa for travel and lodging so he could evade arrest by authorities between 2002 and 2004.

The 52-year-old Avila faces a maximum of 15 years in prison at a July 25 sentencing hearing.
