ISHR: Raul Castro should lift travel restrictions over Mother’s Day for Cuban doctor

Dr. Hilda Molina and her mother are not allowed to visit their children, grandchildren, and great grand children due to Dr. Molina’s criticism of the government


Havana—Frankfurt am Main (May 8, 2008)—The International Society for Human Rights (ISHR) calls on Cuban head of state Raul Castro to allow Dr. Hilda Molina to travel outside of Cuba, in consideration of Mother’s day this coming Sunday. She would like to visit her Son and his family in Buenos Aires . Dr. Molina is one of the most well known Cuban civil rights activists and an honorary member of the ISHR. Dr. Hilda Molina has not been allowed to travel outside of Cuba for years. This restriction is an attempt to force her to stop criticizing the Castro regime and to retract what she has already said. Her own home country has become a prison for Hilda Molina, criticizes Martin Lessenthin, Speaker of the Board of the ISHR. (More)

By Andrea Rodriguez
