> I change my abstain vote back to yes.  Having read the information I believe this is a right stand.  Asking for diplomatic intervention is not against our principles.  There is no evidence of violent wrongdoing and when people are arrested by the state we should expect some - and this in a country with a government that has a history of human rights abuses.  For us to get squeamish about standing up for human rights is not just.  IF they have done something wrong, let it be exposed in the light of day - not this night time spiriting away and lack of process and open information.

>> Motion:  The Libertarian National Committee condemns the unjust detention of libertarian activists Ubaldo Herrera Hernandez and Manuel Velasquez by agents of the Castro regime in Cuba on February 2, and demands the immediate safe release of these political prisoners who were targeted for their peaceful activism promoting limited government and free markets. We further ask the U.S. government's State Department to place diplomatic pressure on the Castro regime for their release, and encourage Libertarian Party members and supporters to contact their elected officials toward that end.
