Petition in Support of the Fasters at Tamarindo 34 who fasted for 40 days

We the students at FIU in signing this document declare our support for the human rights defenders and pro-democracy activists and their 40 day fast which is taking place throughout Cuba, and was started in a small apartment in Tamarindo 34 in Havana. The goals of the fast: a general amnesty for all political prisoners, and that human rights be respected in Cuba are ones that we share.

We call on the Cuban government to honor your request and to issue an unconditional amnesty for all political prisoners, and to begin a series of legal transformations that will provide the necessary framework, within the law, to secure absolute respect for all universally recognized human rights.
