Edited by Walter Lippmann. Havana, June 11. More than 70 opponents of the government of President Raul Castro asked the U.S. Congress to approve a bill allowing Americans to travel and facilitate agricultural sales to Cuba, as a way to "ease the transition we want" and " significantly strengthen civil society in the island. "It's the first time there as wide a participation of the Cuban opposition to such management," said Manuel Cuesta Morua La Jornada, the opposition group Arco Progressive Social profile. Besides Cuesta, signed the petition Guillermo Fariñas, who has more than 100 days on hunger strike and thirst and in intensive care, demanding the freedom of opposition prisoners; Marcelo Cano, José Luis García Paneque, Julio César Gálvez, Ricardo González Alfonso Pablo Pacheco Ávila, the group of 75 detainees and sentenced in 2003. The letter was addressed to the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives, whose chairman, Democrat Collin Peterson, argues that Cuba may be a large market for U.S. agricultural exporters. The project H. R. 4645, which prohibits both the release of trips as a more dynamic agricultural sales, has received support from business circles of both drafts, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the United States and to humanitarian organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, an initiative that could be voted on this month. "The isolation of the people of Cuba benefit hardliners in the best interests of the government, while the opening serves to inform and empower the Cuban people, and help further strengthening of our civil society," said the letter, also signed by Dagoberto Valdes, editor of Living; Elizardo Sanchez of the illegal but tolerated Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation, the blogger Yoani Sánchez and Juan Almeida, son of the late commander of the Revolution Juan Almeida. Peterson said that with two strong mobile, the release of travel and a boost agricultural exports to the United States, the project can gain enough votes to carry the full House. "As travel freely is a right of every human being, we support the passage of this bill," said the letter. "The current Cuban government has always violated this right and, in recent years, wields in his favor that the U.S. government also restricts freedom of travel to their own citizens." Also joined the lawsuit former political prisoners and Francisco Chaviano Felix Bonne, and Roberto de Miranda, Oscar Espinosa Chepe, Héctor Palacios and Jorge Olivera, the group of 75, which are released for health reasons. http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2010/06/12/index.php?section=mundo&article=021n1mun |
