Oscar's Cuba December Update

Update on potential release of Dr. Oscar Biscet

Dr. Biscet and a small group of Cuban prisoners of conscience have demanded that their release from unjust imprisonment not be contingent upon their permanent banishment from the country. Although Dr. Biscet's supporters are cautiously optimistic that Oscar will be released, the Cuban government has already broken its earlier promise that all prisoners of conscience would be released by early November. We ask for your continued prayers that of of Cuba's prisoners of conscience be released without conditions.
