Six-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez - at the centre of an international custody dispute - is a step closer to being returned to his father in Cuba after a long-awaited court ruling. ![]() A US judge on Tuesday dismissed a petition by his Miami relatives seeking a political asylum hearing for the boy. Elian's father - and the Cuban authorities - want him back in Cuba, while emigre family members in Florida want him to remain in the US. The boy was shipwrecked off Miami last November during an illegal attempt to reach the US. 法庭驳回埃利安庇护申请 六岁的古巴男孩埃利安一直处于国际监护争端的中心。现在法庭在长久期盼后终于做出了判决,这使埃利安更有可能回到古巴的父亲身边。 周二一位美国法官驳回了迈阿密亲戚为古巴男孩寻求政治避难的请求。埃利安的父亲和古巴政府要求男孩返回古巴,而佛罗里达的亲戚希望男孩留在美国。 去年十一月埃利安和他的母亲一起偷渡到美国,中途发生了沉船事故,只有埃利安一人活了下来。 |
