International press group calls on Cuba to release political prisoner and journalist Calixto Martinez

About

Four weeks ago today, Cuban political prisoner Calixto Ramon Martinez Arias began a hunger strike to demand his release.

Imprisoned since Sept. 16, Martinez was arrested because of his work as an independent journalist.

You can show your support for Martinez by signing this petition asking the Cuban government to release him.
