As Oscar López Rivera approaches his 73rd birthday on January 6, 2016 the National Puerto Rican Agenda and National Boricua Human Rights Network are launching a social media campaign (Twitter and Facebook) calling for his release.




REGALO PA OSCAR-LIBERTAD:
TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY, THE NATIONAL BORICUA HUMAN RIGHTS NETWORK LAUNCHES BROAD, UNITARY, SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO HELP FREE OSCAR LÓPEZ RIVERA AS HE ENTERS 35th YEAR OF PRISON

As Oscar López Rivera approaches his 73rd birthday on January 6, 2016 the National Puerto Rican Agenda and National Boricua Human Rights Network are launching a social media campaign (Twitter and Facebook) calling for his release.

Oscar, a Bronze Star decorated Vietnam Veteran has never been charged or convicted of a violent crime, yet has served 12 years in solitary confinement. The Archbishop of Puerto Rico, 6 Nobel Laureates, 6 Presidents of Latin America, all three major political tendencies in Puerto Rico, and 6 members of Congress have called for his release.

This call to action on January 6, 2016, his birthday and Three Kings’s Day, comes as Pres. Barack Obama enters his last year in office and Oscar enters his 35th year of imprisonment- the Puerto Rican people’s longest-held political prisoner.
      
On this day, the National Boricua Human Rights Network is asking YOU to participate on Twitter and Facebook:
Hashtags:

On January 6, in one voice, let’s say, RELEASE OSCAR NOW, 34 YEARS IS TOO MUCH!

Let’s get One Million tweets for Oscar!
