Fidel Castro's daughter does not favor Elian Gonzalez's return to Cuba, and warns that the boy will likely suffer harm and be taken from his father.

In an exclusive interview with NewsMax.com, Alina Fernandez said the boy is not being returned to the custody of his father, but to the regime of her father, Fidel Castro.

She is sure the boy will be sent to a state institution, without his father's consent, to be deprogrammed of his "capitalism experience."

Fernandez has been estranged from Castro since she defected from Cuba in 1993 disguised as a Spanish tourist. She now lives in Spain.

Fernandez suggests upon his return Elian may be hailed as a hero, but more likely will "disappear somewhere."

Fernandez quoted one of her father's recent speeches in which he said that the Cuban government "will have to take care of [Elian's] mental condition once back."

She explained that the Cuban government will fear that the child will spread criticism of the Cuban government or relate to other children his experiences in the United States. [article continues]
