SIGN THIS PETITION AND FORWARD OUT THIS MESSAGE WORLDWIDE!
 
The Popular Education Project to Free the Cuban 5 has drafted a petition asking
President Obama to grant Visas to the families of the Cuban 5.
 
With his recent decision to close Guantanamo Prison and his public statements in
support of changing travel restrictions on Cuban Americans, we feel now is a
good time to bring up the US government’s continual denial of visas for the
Cuban 5 families; which has kept both Rene Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez from
seeing their wives for the past ten years.
 
If President Obama is really pro-family and wants to improve the reputation of
the United States, as a "beacon of justice and democracy", then then we need to
demand he end this horrible separation of families and this psychological
torture.
 
Please sign this petition and forward this link to all your friend and families.
We will be emailing this petition and mailing it in hard copies to President
Obama every time we reach a 100th milestone.
 
SIGN IT AND FORWARD IT OUT FOR THE CUBAN 5:

Due to the U.S. government’s denial to approve visas, Gerardo Hernandez
Nordelo and Rene Gonzalez Sehwerert have not seen their wives, Adriana Perez and
Olga Salanueva, since their incarceration!! Others in the Cuban 5 have not seen
their parents, wives and children with regularity. The U.S. government has taken
prolonged periods of time to issue them visas. The U.S. government’s denial of
visitation rights is a cruel and horrible form of psychological torture.  Their
rationale for denial is ridiculous and baseless; none of these family members
are a threat to national security. 
 
We are asking people to fax or mail out this letter to Ms. Navanetham Pillay,
The NEW High Commissioner of Human Rights of the Office for Human Rights-United
Nations Office at Geneva.  We are asking her to intercede on behalf of the
Cuban 5’s mothers/wives to pressure the U.S. government to grant them VISAs to
visit their husbands/sons!!
 
Fax or mail out this letter! Forward this email to all of your friends and ask
them to do the same.  Our mass letter writing campaigns work! Together our
voices have power! Make freedom Happen!
