Normando Hernández

Normando Hernández González is the Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). He is a former prisoner in Cuba, designated by Amnesty International as a "prisoner of conscience". Hernandez was active in Cuba promoting alternative news until he was arrested. Thereafter, at NED he is researching means to undermine the Cuban state media monopoly.

Since his release from jail, Hernandez has been accused of having close ties to Cuban-right-wing groups, including one engaged in terrorist acts in Cuba.
