Officials from the Communist Party at the "14 de Junio" clinic have barred Dr. Jorge Luís Fundón from continuing his ultrasound studies because of his dissident beliefs.
"This equipment is part of a 'battle of ideas' and you can't touch it because you're a disaffected person whose ideas are counter to the revolution since you want to leave the country," Fundón was told.
Fundón was removed from the clinic where he had worked after requesting an exit visa.
Please write respectfully to the Cuban Authorities voicing your concerns about the detainment of Adolfo Fernandez under Law 88. Express your concern that Adolfo has been arrested and sentenced to long periods of imprisonment for peacefully expressing his views.
Call for his immediate and unconditional release on the grounds that he is a prisoner of conscience detained solely for his attempts to peacefully exercise his right to freedom of association and expression.
Urge that all Cuban citizens be guaranteed their rights to freedom of association, assembly and expression, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and that the Cuban Government immediately cease to imprison, force into exile abroad or otherwise punish those who attempt to peacefully exercise such rights.
