EspañolAmnesty International is doubling its efforts to get Cuban activist Eduardo Cardet released from prison.

Carlos Payá, a member of the Christian Liberation Movement in Spain, held a meeting with representatives of Amnesty International regarding Cardet’s case. He was declared a prisoner of conscience last February. According to the organization, he was imprisoned for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression.

“This effort is being carried out in various cities in the Netherlands, as well as in the United Kingdom,” Payá said. “And we hope that some kind of activity can be done here to draw attention, given the importance that Spain has for Cuba, and the importance of Cuba for Spain.”

Cardet was given a three-year sentence on charges of assaulting a state security agent during his arrest on November 30, 2016.

 

“The sentence is based on manipulated information,without taking into account the testimony of the defense witnesses,” Cardet’s wife, Yaimaris Vecino, said. “The way in which they wrote and manipulated the case is shameless.”

This activist’s case has resulted in strong demands from different organizations and high-standing people, such as Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who repudiated the “judicial farce” that has been undertaken against Cardet. Rubio asked the United States to always be a voice that demands freedom of political prisoners in Cuba.
