In spite of the hard time they are going through, the relatives of the Cuban doctors <\/span>kidnapped<\/span><\/a> last Friday in Kenya trust that they will be able to return safely to Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have full confidence that sooner or later my son will return to the bosom of his family,” said Martha Hern\u00e1ndez, mother of Villa Clara surgeon Landy Rodr\u00edguez, in <\/span>statements published<\/span><\/a> by the island’s media.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in the midst of the anguish of the last days, in which, as she said, she has barely been able to sleep, Martha said she trusted the island’s government, which has maintained a “constant follow-up” with the Kenyan government and “is working tirelessly” for the return of the doctors, as Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel <\/span>tweeted<\/span><\/a> on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, she thanked the solidarity received both inside and outside of Cuba, which she considered very important so that this unfortunate chapter could best come to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, when the news of the kidnapping was announced, Isel Gonz\u00e1lez, wife of the father-in-law of Landy Rodr\u00edguez, also thanked OnCuba for all the support received and that which could be given, which contributes to the return of the Villa Clara doctor and his colleague Assel Herrera, from Las Tunas.<\/span><\/p>\n
