URGENT ACTION
We call upon you to take action for the immediate release of Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia. On October 1, 2019, Jose Daniel Ferrer, founder of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) and a leading promoter of the Cuba Decide movement disappeared, together with 3 additional activists. He was taken by the Castro state security and more than a month later we learned that he is being held prisoner under torture in the Aguadores prison of the province of Santiago de Cuba.
For all Cubans who live outside of the island as well as all those citizens of the United States who wish to help, we invite you to:
- Send formal requests to your elected representatives (Instructions Below) calling on your government to approve Senate Resolution 454.
- Call your representative
We invite you all to send a letter. Change is in our own hands!

Call information for the Senate/House:
I am calling to request that Senator/Representative (Name of your Representative) support Senate Resolution 454/House Resolution 774 demanding the Cuban Regime release José Daniel Ferrer, Fernando González, José Pupo Chaveco and Roilán Zarraga Ferrer as well as, all political prisoners.
I am outraged with the increase of repression violating human rights in Cuba, especially with what is happening with the activist José Daniel Ferrer, a prominent leader of the Cuban opposition inside the Island.
On October 1st of 2019, Jose Daniel Ferrer, founder of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) and a leading member of the Cuba Decide movement disappeared, together with 3 additional activists. He was taken by the Castro state security and more than a month later we learned that he is being held prisoner under torture in the Aguadores prison of the province of Santiago de Cuba.
The peaceful pro-democracy leader lost more than half of his body weight and his vision and voice were affected during the first month of isolation. He has not received his medication despite his delicate health condition. The four activists have been subjected to cruel and inhuman treatments and they remain in prison, under the threat of being prosecuted for fabricated crimes.
I write this letter requesting you sponsor a resolution from the United States Senate demanding the Cuban Regime release José Daniel Ferrer, Fernando González, José Pupo Chaveco and Roilán Zarraga Ferrer as well as, all political prisoners.
