The Hero of the Republic of Cuba, Rene Gonzalez must go to the United States Interests Section in Havana to start this process, which will conclude when the State Department issues him a Loss of Citizenship Certificate.The previous day, the Government of the United States informed the Court that it does not oppose the request. In the conclusions of the official document Judge Lenard established in one of her points that If the accused voluntarily renounces his United States citizenship pursuant to the USC/1481 8 (a) (5), while he is waiting for the certificate of Loss of Citizenship Certificate from the State Department of the United states he is authorized to stay in Cuba. He will no longer have to submit periodic reports or continue on supervised probation, and he will not be allowed to return to the United States. In addition the judge Lenard says: On May 23 2013 the defendant will present to the Court or to the Tribunal a report of his resignation status and a certified copy of any issued certificate of loss of nationality. René González was released from prison in October after fully completing his sentence after being wrongly imprisoned for 13 years and deprived of visits from his wife during that time. Until today the Cuban hero was serving a sentence of three years of supervised probation in the U.S.. Recently he arrived in Cuba on what was to be a temporary and private visit to attend the funeral of his father. René is also a Cuban citizen and his wife and daughters and grandson live in Cuba.
