Your Excellency,
I, as a member of Writers in Prison Committe of Norwegian PEN am welcoming the release of journalists Alejandro González Raga and José Gabriel Ramón Castillo, and librarian Omar Pernet Hernández. But at the same time I am calling for the government to take steps towards the unconditional release of all other journalists, writers and librarians currently detained in Cuba in violation of their internationally recognised right to freedom of expression.
Confident that You, Your Excellency, will take action accordingly, I remain,
Yours sincerely
Unni Malmø
member of Writers in Prison Committee, Norwegian PEN
