Action Needed—Medical Treatment Required for Imprisoned Cuban Dissident Among the dissidents imprisoned in March 2003 is Cuban economist and independent journalist Oscar Espinosa Chepe, currently being held in Chafarina prison, Guantánamo. Sentenced to twenty years in jail on March 20, 2025 for his non-violent activities as a government critic, 62 year-old Espinosa Chepe is reported to be suffering from several chronic illnesses. While he remains in detention, the Lawyers Committee
calls on the Cuban government to ensure that Oscar Espinosa Chepe is provided
with appropriate medical treatment immediately and that his conditions
of detention meet basic international standards. We also urge Cuban authorities
to order the release of Oscar Espinosa Chepe and all other individuals
who were arrested and convicted on the basis of their peaceful political
activities and their efforts to promote and protect basic human rights
in Cuba. |
