Rep. Ros-Lehtinen and Rep. Diaz-Balart speak to Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet

Washington, D.C. –Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) spoke to Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet following his release this weekend after being imprisoned for nearly a decade as a political prisoner of the Cuban regime. Ros-Lehtinen and Diaz-Balart comment:

“After enduring years of unimaginable suffering at the hands of his Cuban jailers, Dr. Biscet remains resolute in his refusal to accept anything less than a free and democratic Cuba. His spirit and determination in the face of such merciless repression by the Cuban regime offers inspiration and leadership to the millions of Cubans yearning for freedom from the Havana tyranny. Dr. Biscet has witnessed first-hand how the U.S. administration’s practice of granting concessions has only empowered Biscet’s jailers, and has undermined the pro-democracy movement in Cuba.”
