Show your support and lend your name to demand release of 4 Cuban prisoners of conscience

Amnesty International this week listed four jailed Cuban dissidents as "prisoners of conscience," elevating their status on eve of Pope Benedict XIV's visit to Cuba next week.

Amnesty's action raises the prisoners stature. There are ways you can help, too.

On behalf of jailed brothers Antonio Michel and Marcos Máiquel Lima Cruz, you can sign this letter from Amnesty to Cuban officials in Washington, D.C.

Sign your name to these efforts so that they know they are not forgotten.
