On January 28, 1997 at a conference at Florida International University in which the world's longest serving political prisoner, Mario Chanes de Armas, spoke with other ex-political prisoners. FIU students formed the International Committee to Defend the Life and Liberty of Armando Alonso Romero, a human rights activist, who is now beginning the 4th year of a 12 year sentence tried and convicted of the crime of attempting to collect reports of human rights violations.

We have begun an internet campaign to free Armando Alonso. The page is located at http://www.fiu.edu/~fcf/armando.alonso/armando.campaign.html
