Families of Cuban imprisoned dissidents
seek signatures on a petition requesting
amnesty
HAVANA, Sept. 11 (www.cubanet.org) -Families
and friends of 75 dissidents imprisoned
last April have prepared for signature a
petition asking for amnesty for them.
According to Article 63 of the Cuban Constitution,
a request from citizens for a law needs
a petition signed by 10,000 people.
Said Laura Pollán, wife of jailed
dissident journalist Héctor Masenda,
who's serving a 20-year sentence: "Many
of those who have seen the text of the petition
recognize its essentially humanitarian,
non politicized character."
