Request

Here is a letter from El Cafe Cubano to Fr. Frank Pavone(Priests for Life):


Fr. Frank Pavone,

First of all I want to thank you for your passion and endless work concerning the unborn. As a Catholic I support you and the cause 100%. The reason for this letter is that we need your help and prayers. A political prisoner in Cuba, Dr. Elias Biscet is holding on to his dear life in prison. His crime: He spoke out against abortion and the communist regime in Cuba. His prison term: 25 years! Most of the international and Christian community have no clue or have ignored this struggle. Here is an excerpt from Armando Valledares, who spent 22 years in prison :

"Valladares vividly expressed how much it meant the international reaction to the Cuban political martyrdom: "During those years, with the purpose of forcing us to abandon our religious beliefs and to demoralize us, the Cuban Communist indoctrinators repeatedly used the statements made by some representatives of the American Christian churches. Every time a pamphlet was published in U.S., every time a clergyman would write an article in support of Castro’s dictatorship, a translation would be given to us, and that was far worse for the Christian political prisoners than the beatings or the hunger. Incomprehensible to us, while we waited for the embrace of solidarity from our brothers in Christ, those who were embraced were our tormentors."


Please we are asking for your support moral, spiritual, or anything that will save Dr. Biscet's life!

Here is a website dedicated to Dr. Biscet: http://www.free-biscet.org/



Thanks and God Bless!



- I urge you my fellow bloggers to write and spread the word. Even in the christian community their is widespread ignorance concerning Dr. Biscet and
Cuba.

Bravo, Alfredo! Information that spreads the truth is power and light to the oppressed; now am even happier to have put a link to the Free Dr. Biscet site on my blog. We need to keep this man OVER the "radar."

Thanks Albert! We do need to keep Dr. Biscet's name over the "Radar"
I am still amazed on how most of the media just ignores this situation.
