According to this motion, they were targeted for their activism, and are unjustly detained. I suspect this is true, but I need to see evidence of this before I can endorse this party making such accusations against a foreign nation. While nations often unjust detain people, it is also true that libertarians can, sometimes, commit crimes. As of this moment, I do not even know what charges, if any, have been presented, so it is hard for me to say that these charges are false or trumped up. <div><br></div><div>I previously asked for more information, and Mr. O'Toole (thank you) forwarded a blog post from Mises. I have nothing against Mises, and I have respect for the Institute, I spent many summers there, and the Institute supported me through some difficult times. (Full disclosure: I do strongly disagree with the political tact that many associated with Mises have chosen.) But a blog post from them simply isn't the kind of information I am seeking.

<br><u>Motion:</u> 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. <br><span><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888">-Alicia<br></font></span></div><br></div>
