Dr. Biscet's latest letter from prison, March 1, 2008
Translated into English and appears on BabaluBlog.com
 The letter was sent to his wife from “Combinado del Este” jail in Havana, Cuba where he is currently imprisoned.

"Fidel Castro has left power. He should have done it 20 years ago when Mikhail Gorbachev traveled to the island. He wisely recommended it to him, that way it would have reduced the years of misery, lack of freedom and cruel suffering of the Cuban people under a prolonged, unnecessary and poorly run government..."

 God bless you Dr. Biscet!

Harvard Students for Human Rights in Cuba
 Dec. 17, 2007 www.Babalublog.com
 From our friends at Babalu Blog comes this excellent piece on how certain enlightened (and there aren't many in the Ivies) Ivy League university students from Harvard aren't worshipping a murderer like Che Guevara, or an anti American linguist, like M.I.T.s court jester, Noam Chomsky, but instead are raising consciousness by taking up the valid cause of Cuban pro democracy, human rights, and freeing Dr. Biscet!

Please visit and support Cuban American Undergraduate Student Organization at Harvard University. Thanks!
A Day For Human Rights
 Dec. 10, 2007 The Harvard Crimson
 By Andrew Velo-Arias
"Dec. 10 is internationally recognized as a day to salute those around the world who struggle to defend, protect, and promote the fundamental freedoms that are the birthright of all mankind. We may be in the 21st century, but millions of people are still fighting for the liberties we enjoy in this country. Recognition of such abuses throughout the world is the first step in the fight against them. One such victim of abuse, Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet was sentenced to 25 years in prison by Fidel Castro’s dictatorship for vocalizing his opposition to the government and, even worse, for defending human rights."

Dr. Biscet is still in Castro's prisons, so family members and supporters of Biscet will receive the medal for him in absentia.
President Bush will give the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Nation's highest civil award. The Medal is awarded by the President "to any person who has made an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." President Bush will honor these recipients at a White House ceremony on Monday, November 5, 2007. So who is Oscar Biscet?
