  • Cuba Called On To Free American Contractor
Jan 11, 2013

GENEVA, Switzerland, CMC – A branch of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has urged Cuba authorities to immediately free jailed US government subcontractor Alan Gross, claiming that the Spanish-speaking Caribbean island’s judicial system is not independent or impartial. The UNHRC’s Task Force on Arbitrary Detention also charged that the national security law under which Gross was charged was vague and violated human rights agreements. But the task force, which dismissed a complaint that Gross was denied due process, sent a private copy of its report to the Cuban government.
