Press Releases: Five-Year Mark of the Continued Incarceration of Alan Gross 12/02/2014 07:22 PM EST Five-Year Mark of the Continued Incarceration of Alan Gross Press Statement Marie Harf Deputy Department Spokesperson, Office of the Spokesperson Washington, DC December 2, 2014 Tomorrow, development worker Alan Gross will begin a sixth year of unjustified imprisonment in difficult conditions in Cuba. Cuban authorities arrested Mr. Gross on December 3, 2009, and later sentenced him to 15 years in prison for facilitating uncensored internet contact between a small, religious community on the island and the rest of the world. It is gravely disappointing, especially in light of its professed goal of providing Cubans with internet access, that the Cuban government has not allowed Mr. Gross to return to his family, where he belongs. We reiterate our call on the Cuban government, echoing foreign leaders and even Cuba’s allies, to release Alan Gross immediately.
