A high-ranking Cuban diplomat Wednesday accused U.S. officials of lying about the case of jailed American contractor Alan Gross and said Havana would not bend to pressure to free Gross immediately.
"To demand that Cuba unilaterally release Mr. Alan Gross is not realistic," said Josefina Vidal, the Cuban Foreign Ministry official who oversees relations with the U.S.
Gross, 63, was convicted in Cuba of trying to subvert the government after he was arrested for bringing banned satellite communications equipment into the country.
