Freedom for Dr. Biscet

A new campaign was launched this week to pressure the Cuban dictatorship to release political prisoner Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet:

We demand the immediate release of Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet Gonzalez and all the Cuban political prisoners, so that this peaceful human rights activist may continue his struggle for justice in Cuba. We urgently ask all men and women of good will, the international press, human rights organizations, world health organizations and dignitaries of democratic nations to denounce before the Cuban government the unjust incarceration, criminal accusations, and imminent trial of this Cuban physician whose only crime is to honor the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in his own country.

"To defend the inalienable rights of the human race, we understand the need to put limits on government to prevent the undermining of those rights. It is because of this that we have become activists in this organization – to establish in our country the rule of law, so that each man and woman may be fulfilled as complete human beings."

Dr Oscar Elias Biscet
