FREEDOM FOR FRANCISCO!
In the last couple of days we received - thanks to Agor Telematica - the
first response to the appeal launched for the liberation of Francisco
Chiaviano Gonzales, a political prisoner in Cuba. We are publishing it
here, and appeal toyou to participate inthis campaign.
"The Radical Group of Dnepropetrovsk asks the world to intervene on behalf
of the President of the National Council for Civil Rights Francisco
Chaviano Gonzales, who was unlawfully arrested on 7 May 1994 by the Cuban
Secret Police.
Our Group agrees with Amnesty International in their declaring Francisco a
"prisoner of conscience."
We must organize a campaign with the slogan "Freedom for Francisco!" It
would also be the right moment to inform the world comunity of the shocking
violations of human rights in Cuba.
We call on everyone to organize demonstrations outside the Cuban embassies
in their own countries; to collect signatures on a petition adressed to the
Cuban Government, and to deliver it to the Ambassador in question.
We repeat that we are totally against political persecution, whether
inflicted by a criminal dictator or by individuals, wherever this may
occur."
