The ad hoc committee
MISSION BISCET has been formed to protest the appearance of Cuban
dictator Fidel Castro at the United Nations Millennium Summit, on
Wednesday, September 6th, at 2:30 p.m..
This demonstration is
to support Cuban political prisoners, such as human rights activist
and Amnesty International prisoner of conscience Dr. Oscar Elias
Biscet. Please visit Dr. Biscet's web site at www.biscet.org
for more information.
The Committee is
asking that parties living in Miami interested in joining the caravan
and protest call 305-262-2727 to reserve seats in the caravan. Those
living in the New York metro area are urged to come down to the United
Nations on 9-6-00.
There has been a
tremendous positive response to this call to action, and a diverse
cross section of society has already committed to being with MISSION
BISCET in solidarity at the United Nations protests.
Please notify your
friends, families, church groups, e-mail lists, and media of this
important event
WE WANT TO SEE YOU
THERE AS FAMILY!
MISSION BISCET IS
PLANNING THIS HUMAN RIGHTS DEMONSTRATION TO BRING TO LIGHT THE UNJUST
TREATMENT OF THE CUBAN PEOPLE UNDER THE CASTRO DICTATORSHIP, AS WELL
AS THE DRACONIAN CUBAN PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WHICH HAS ENSLAVED AN
ENTIRE NATION FOR FORTY ONE YEARS. We are urging all to stress the
following points:
1. FREEDOM and AMNESTY FOR ALL CUBAN POLITICAL PRISONERS
2. THE LEGALIZATION
OF ALL POLITICAL PARTIES, LABOR UNIONS, RELIGIOUS, PRESS, AND CIVIC
ORGANIZATIONS
3. A CALL FOR FREE
DEMOCRATIC MULTI PARTY ELECTIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS PRESENT
4. AN END TO THE FOUR
DECADE MONOPOLY OF POWER HELD BY THE CUBAN COMMUNIST PARTY
5. THE CALL FOR AN
INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL IN THE HAGUE TO EXAMINE AND BRING TO JUSTICE
HUMAN RIGHTS ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY THE CUBAN DICTATORSHIP ON THE
ISLAND AND INTERNATIONALLY
6. AN END TO THE
TOURIST, RACIAL, AND CULTURAL APARTHEID INSTITUTED BY THE CASTRO
DICTATORSHIP ON IT'S OWN PEOPLE.
THERE WILL BE A
PETITION CIRCULATING SHORTLY WHICH WE URGE ALL OF YOU TO SIGN.
