Teacher risks jail to give aid in Cuba
http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-01092006-594890.htmlA teacher at George School since 1971, Bradley spoke Friday morning to students and teachers about his personal choice to bring aid to impoverished Cuban citizens last summer in violation of U.S. sanctions. The Pastors for Peace, an interreligious community foundation, organized the effort.
"The government was trying to starve my neighbors and friends," Bradley told a crowd of more than 500 people.
-
But under former President Bill Clinton, Bradley said George School was granted a license to travel to Cuba. He and the school forged a relationship with many citizens there through athletic exchanges and religious trips. The Treasury Department revoked that license in 2004, Bradley said.
-
He could face 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fine. The Courier Times was unsuccessful Friday afternoon in reaching Treasury Department officials for comment.
