CUBA: TEACHER IN NEED OF MEDICAL CARE
Pedro Albert Sánchez, a 68-year-old teacher and human rights defender, has been arbitrarily detained in Cuba since 22 November 2023. Despite his critical health conditions, including cancer, Pedro is being denied adequate healthcare. He is a prisoner of conscience jailed simply for exercising his human rights to freedom of expression and of peaceful assembly. We urge the Cuban authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Pedro Albert Sánchez and ensure he urgently receives adequate healthcare.
