HAVANA — Top U.S. diplomats used a high-level meeting with their Cuban counterparts Friday to call for the release of an American held in a maximum security prison without charge for nearly three months.
Cuba alleges Alan P. Gross is a spy whose arrest proves Washington is still out to topple the island’s communist government. Gross’ family maintains he is a development worker who came to Cuba to distribute communications equipment to Jewish groups.
