Medical
students praise imprisoned doctor on Medicine
Day in Cuba
HAVANA, Dec. 4 (www.cubanet.org) - Five
students at the Institute of Medical Science
in the capital sent a message to jailed
dissident doctor Oscar Elías Biscet
on Medicine Day celebrated this week in
Cuba.
"It's a crime to jail a doctor for
wanting life and peace for his people and
his nation," said student Javier González
Rodríguez, who said he did not fear
government reprisals for his remarks. "I
want to live free, and Dr. Oscar Elías
Biscet, to whom we send this day a message
of hope and solidarity, is a good example
of what a doctor should be."
Fellow student Yaritza Gómez said
that December 3 was a good day for health
workers to start demanding fulfillment of
their rights, including the right to leave
the country.
