How Corbyn helped two Cuban spies come to UK

JEREMY Corbyn faces fresh questions over links to foreign secret agents as it emerged he helped two Cuban spies to Britain.

The Labour leader hosted the pair in the Commons in July 2016 despite warnings they were a threat to national security.

Rene Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez had served jail terms in the US after being convicted of spying for Fidel Castro’s government on Cuban exiles.

It comes after it was alleged Mr Corbyn was ‘groomed’ as a contact by a Czechoslovakian spy in the 1980s – a claim which he strongly denies. The Cuban spies were part of the Miami Five, a group arrested in 1998 and found guilty in 2001 of trying to infiltrate US military installations. Gonzalez was released in 2011, while Hernandez was let out in 201 . Mr Corbyn invited Gonzalez to Commons meetings on Cuba-US relations, but he was denied a visa by then home secretary Theresa May on security grounds. MPs led by Mr Corbyn and John McDonnell wrote to the Court of Appeal saying this breached his human rights. Their appeal was upheld.
