Cuba
Alan GrossAn American aid worker jailed unjustly in Cuba is marking his 29th month behind bars. Alan Gross, 63 years old and suffering from arthritis, was arrested on Dec. 3, 2009, while working as a subcontractor on a project sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development helping members of Cuba’s small Jewish community gain access to the Internet. For this, he was convicted on charges of acting against Cuba’s independence and territorial integrity.  Despite repeated pleas for humanitarian consideration by the United States and international community, Cuban officials continue to reject calls for his release.
There is another way, however, in which authorities can show compassion for the ailing Mr. Gross. We ask that the Cuban government grant Mr. Gross’s humanitarian request to travel to the United States to visit his 90-year old mother suffering from inoperable lung cancer, which prevents her from traveling to Cuba.
