Deputies of the European Union Request Freedom for Angel Santiesteban

What new trick is the dictatorship planning for April 28, the date that
Angel should be released on parole?

"What new trap will the dictatorship lay for April 25, the date when
Angel Santiesteban-Prats should be released on parole?"

Justice continues to impose itself. In Cuba, behind the bars with which
they have tried to imprison his body, without being able to capture his
spirit and his ideas, Angel Santiesteban-Prats is today a little freer.

The world, Europe in particular, is making a new gesture, showing that
dignity still is not lost in the world of high politics, in the world
that prefers to make economic, commercial and political concessions to
the Castro brothers' dictatorship, ignoring the enormous violations of
human rights that the Regime perpetrates on the Island.

Two Eurodeputies fly the flag of dignity: Fernando Maura and Pavel
Telicka. They ask the head of European diplomacy, Frederica Mogherini,
who mediates with the Regime of Havana, to obtain immediate freedom for
the artists Angel Santiesteban-Prats and Danilo Maldonado, as well as
the cessation of the extreme cruelty that confines the renown artist,
Tania Bruguera, in Cuba.

Even more important is the letter that Fernando Maura and Pavel Telicka,
vice presidents of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe
Party of the European Parliament, sent to Frederica Mogherini, the High
Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security
Policy, signed by some 30 Eurodeputies from different parties.

Bravo for the dignity that these Eurodeputies represent by putting
themselves on the side of freedom!

It's a very clear message to Raul Castro: Every time more people in the
world, from all ideological tendencies, verify the crime that Cuba's
cultural and military policemen have committed against the writer Angel
Santiesteban-Prats, the truth is revealed.
