(EFE).- Some thirty community leaders have formed the Alianza de Cristianos de Cuba with the aim of “working for freedom of association and worship” and “demanding the immediate release of all political prisoners.”
According to a statement Made public this Monday by the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights (OCDH), based in Madrid, the alliance was established last weekend in the eastern part of the island.
The group, added the note, will also work for “the immediate invalidation of the new Family Code”, a legislative package approved in a referendum last September and which provides for, among other things, marriage and adoption between people of the same sex.
In the same way, the “alliance has among its purposes to extend pastoral work to all regions of the country”
The norm was already rejected by Catholic groups in Cuba, but also by a part of the opposition, either because they considered that participating in the consultation was a “validation” of the Government or because minority rights were put to a vote.
In the same way, the “alliance has among its purposes to extend pastoral work to all regions of the country,” the text highlighted.
“Our people today suffer the worst difficulties after decades of hardship, years of constant deprivation of their rights and freedoms, deficiencies that have eaten away at society to the point of poisoning all areas of human endeavor,” the statement added.
