Forum 2000 in Prague: Participants Call for Release of Cuban Political Prisoners

The Prague List

La Lista de Praga

The Prague list contains 307 names of current Cuban political prisoners. This is not a complete accounting, but it is the most exhaustive list available. In this list you will find Cubans from across the spectrum of society, among them 25 journalists, five medical doctors, two dentists and one attorney, all arrested for their human rights and pro-democracy activism. History has demonstrated that one cannot remain silent in the face of such injustices without catastrophic

results. The full and unconditional release of all Cuban political prisoners, at a minimum all the individuals identified on this list, would demonstrate a first step to a commitment to improve things in Cuba.

La lista de Praga contiene 307 nombres de actuales presos políticos cubanos. Esta lista no puede representar una contabilidad completa, pero es la lista más exhaustiva disponible. En esta lista se encuentra un espectro completo de la sociedad cubana, entre ellos 25 periodistas, cinco médicos e dos odontólogos y un abogado todos detenidos por su activismo a favor de los derechos humanos y la democracia. La historia ha demostrado que no se puede permanecer callado frente a estas injusticias sin resultados catastróficos. La liberación completa e incondicional de todos los presos políticos cubanos, como mínimo todas las personas identificadas en esta lista, demostraría un primer paso a un compromiso para mejorar las cosas en Cuba.
