URGENT APPEAL SIGNED BY EX- CUBAN POLITICAL PRISONERS

Miami. January 7, 2004

We, the undersigned, former Cuban political prisoners (Historic Political Prisoners) hereby inform of the present critical situation in the island of the Cuban political prisoner, Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet.

This Cuban physician is a non-violent opponent of the Cuban dictatorship, who was recently condemned to 25 years in prison for promoting the respect of human rights in Cuba and for publicly denouncing the government´s constant violations of the rights of the Cuban people.

Dr. Biscet is confined in a dungeon-like cell with no windows or sufficient ventilation, no medical assistance, suffering from malnutrition, not allowed to have visits or any contact with the outside world and deprived of having access to natural sunlight. His health is rapidly deteriorating due to the cruel punishments imposed upon him by the Cuban Correctional System.

We appeal to the international community on behalf of Dr. Biscet and all Cuban political prisoners suffering deplorable and inhumane conditions for defending pro democracy ideals in Cuba.

NOTE: This appeal appeal was sent worldwide to all human rights organizations, governments and leaders of democratic nations, as well as an extensive list of individuals and groups associated with the defense of human rights.
