CUBA’S WORKING GROUP OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF HUMAN RIGHTS, ISHR

13-07-2009.
(www.miscelaneasdecuba.net).- On Saturday, July 4th, 2009, at ten minutes before eleven (10:50 A.M.), Cuban time, at the house of René Gómez Manzano, in 18th Street N. 162, Apt. 2, between 13 and 15, Vedado, municipality of Plaza, province of the City of Havana, began the constitution meeting of the Cuba’s Working Group of the International Society of Human Rights, ISHR,

This is a most prestigious world organization for the defense of those rights, the headquarters of which are located in Germany.

Each and every one of the members of that international organization who at present live in Cuba was invited to attend this meeting. Due to some absences, were present the following members (in alphabetical order): Lilvio Fernández Luis, Jorge Luis García Pérez (Antúnez), René Gómez Manzano, Juan Carlos González Leiva, Roberto de Jesús Guerra Pérez, Ana Margarita Perdigón Brito and Carlos Manuel Pupo Rodríguez.

Also present was Lic. Elsa Morejón Hernández, who has requested to be considered a mere guest representing her unjustly jailed husband, the well-known prisoner of conscience doctor Oscar Elías Biscet González, while he remains in jail.

The host, René Gómez Manzano, offered a brief explanation about the mission given to him by the leadership of the International Society to organize the celebration of this constitution meeting.

The persons assembled exchanged opinions about the activities of the Cuba’s Working Group of the ISHR, expressing special concern about the situation of the numerous political prisoners which exist at present in Cuba, as well as about the violation of the citizens’ Human Rights in general; in this context, they expressed their intention to continue working jointly in favour of the excarceration of political prisoners and in favour of the rights of all Cubans.

René Gómez Manzano was unanimously elected as president of the Working Group.

As members of the Working Group’s Executive Board were also elected, by seven votes in favour and none against (in each case with the abstention of the proposed candidate), the following members (in the order they were proposed): Juan Carlos González Leiva, Jorge Luis García Pérez (Antúnez) and Ana Margarita Perdigón Brito.

Taking into account the fact that the Executive Board is made up by an even numbers of members, it was agreed that, in case of a tie vote, the president René Gómez Manzano will have the deciding vote.

The meeting was held in a brotherly atmosphere and with the compromise of working more each day in the defense of Human Rights.

Havana, July 13th, 2009.
