<u>Motion:</u> <br>
<br>
The Libertarian National Committee strongly opposes the unjust
arrest and detention of peaceful individuals. The arrests on
February 2, 2017, and subsequent detention of libertarian
activists, Ubaldo Herrera Hernandez and Manuel Velazquez, in
Cuba illustrate the threats to freedom we all face around the
world.<br>
<br>
The Libertarian Party calls on the Cuban government to
immediately release details of the above-mentioned arrests and
detentions, including the specific charges being levied
against the individuals in question. In the absence of such
information, we call for the release of these prisoners.<br>
<br>
Libertarian activism worldwide must not be deterred by the
attempts of authoritarian leaders, totalitarian governments,
and dictatorial regimes to silence the voice of freedom. We
condemn any acts of official oppression, and uphold the
promotion of limited government and free markets in any
country. Furthermore, we call on the U.S. Department of State
to publicly denounce violations of the right to free speech,
the right to peaceably assemble, and the right to due process
abroad.<br>
