City Council member of the New York district 42 joined the struggle
for the Cuban Five
Havana,
4 Feb. - Activist and people's politician City Council Member
Charles Barron, of the District 42 New York City, has joined his
voice with the hundreds that have sent Ms. Navanetham Pillay, High
Commissioner of Human Rights for the Office of the High Commissioner
for Human Rights-UN Office at Geneva, a letter asking Ms. Pillay to
request the US government grant Visas for the families of the Cuban
Five.
"Throughout their incarceration, the Cuban Five have been victims of
multiple human rights violations. One of the most unjust and inhuman
of these violations has been the systematic denial of visitation
from their relatives; a basic right of all prisoners."
"In order to bring to an end to this flagrant violation of human
rights, I ask that you intercede in this matter and request that the
US government grant visas to the families of the Cuban Five and
allow them to see their relatives on a regular basis"
