Cuc Foshee update.

Thank you to everyone who signed the petition to free Cuc Foshee, the American woman being held in a Vietnam prison. She was imprisoned by the Vietnamese government in September 2005. Cuc was put on trial last week and convicted of terrorism. She was sentenced to 15 months in prison, with credit for time served. Her family was told that she would be released in December. Happily the Vietnamese government had a change of heart (President Bush is due to visit Vietnam this weekend) and released Cuc a few days ago. She is now home safely in the US with her family.

I am having some difficulty posting a link, but if you are interested, check out orlandosentinel.com - there are a few stories about Cuc's homecoming.

Wonderful news! Please tell everyone how pleased I am that Cuc is safe at home at last. I can't imagine how difficult the last months have been for them.
