Special attention to you !
We ask your collaboration to join CEESE’s urgent and public appeal of nurses and docters (text below) to US government to stop the blockade of Cuba. You can join by returning your name, profession, city and country to our secretary ppmjonas@gmail.com . We will send it to US government, Cuban colleagues and newspapers in Cuba and some other countries (suggestions welcome).
“We, doctors and nurses, signatories of this urgent request, promised to the best of our ability to stand up for our fellow human beings. US-government blockade of Cuba violates basic human rights so we want this blockade to stop.”
Please let us know,
Warm regards, Paul.
