"In March 2003, when Castro’s regime unjustly convicted and imprisoned 75 Cuban dissidents, the European Union introduced sanctions against Cuba. More than 50 political prisoners, whose families we have long been supporting through a form of ‘adoption’, are also being held under inhumane conditions in Cuban prisons. We are concerned about their poor state of health. Before removing the EU sanctions on Cuba, have those involved asked the 2005 Andrei Sakharov laureates, the ‘Ladies in White’, whether the situation in the sphere of human rights and civil liberties in Cuba has changed since the accession of Raul Castro? Mr President, thank you for your personal involvement in the issue of the release of political prisoners in Cuba and may I ask you once again to urge the Cuban President, on behalf of the European Parliament, to immediately release all Cuban dissidents."@en1
