[Lnc-business] Cuban Prisoner Resolution - Take 2- request for co-sponsors

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I took Joshua's new resolution to the author of the Nevada resolution for
input.  He suggested some changes and agreed that the last paragraph should
not be a part (in his non-LNC opinion).  IF this passes, specific direction
we can give to the staff can be part of a separate motion (and one that
does not require 3/4 btw).

I would like to offer this as a new resolution and ask for co-sponsors:

*The Libertarian National Committee expresses shock and concern for the
detention of libertarian activists Ubaldo Herrera Hernandez and Manuel
Velasquez by agents of the Castro regime in Cuba on February 2, whose
unexplained detention raises suspicions that these political prisoners were
targeted for their peaceful activism promoting limited government and free
markets. **The two men are believed to be political prisoners imprisoned in
the infamous Melena II facility, known for appalling living and working
conditions. * *We further ask for an inquiry and response from** the Castro
regime for information related to their detention, an accurate and complete
register of charges, and and for assurances that they will receive fair and
open trials on any legitimate charges.  We further ask that the Cuban
government for their immediate release should such information and
assurances not be forthcoming. We encourage Libertarian Party members and
supporters to contact their elected officials toward that end, and further
ask that the IALP join us in applying diplomatic pressure for the Castro
regime to release information related to their detention and call upon the
national and international media to join us in these efforts.*
