MIAMI - A prominent Cuban activist in South Florida spoke publicly Tuesday about the U.S. government's decision to deny his application for residency.

After 14 years of waiting, Ramon Saul Sanchez said he recently received a letter informing him that his application has been denied. The letter also asks that Sanchez leave the country.

Sanchez said he first applied for permanent residency in 2002 and was interviewed in 2014, but his petition was revoked in March.

He believes the decision is politically motivated as the U.S. and Cuba establish diplomatic relations.

Ramon Saul Sanchez' excellent protest hunger strike



All dressed in white for his fast, which he surrendered, claiming his terms had been met. Ha ha ha.



Ramon Saul Sanchez, claiming the U.S. federal agents got the jump
on him, and scuffed him up while he attempted to prevent their
following out official orders to return the child Elian to his father.
He believed he was done in by the tear gas, according to reports.

house where Elian Gonzalez is being kept by his extended
Miami "exile" family.



Is there a camera near-by? Don't let Ramon Sanchez see it.



Miami Cuban "exiles" practicing Ramon Saul Sanchez's tactic,
the "exile" "human chain" to be prepared for when the U.S.
Federal agents would come to retrieve Elian Gonzalez from
his drunken great-uncle, "exile" Lazaro Gonzalez, who was
keeping Elian Gonzalez in defiance of Federal Court orders
demanding he release the child to agents to be returned to
his legal father, to be returned to his own home in Cuba.

Unfortunately, when they came, this human chain was asleep!



Ramon call home.







Ramon loves to go to Cuba on his favorite days, with his little "exile" flotilla,
and shoot of tons of fireworks just outside Havana, in the water, just far enough
away he thinks they can't come and get him.

Now he can shoot off his fireworks INSIDE Havana, and get a chance to receive
all the applause and "bravos" in person! Wow! How cool is that. The hero returns. [/center]
