Mr President, further to your reference to Guantanamo Bay, I should like to inform the House that a group of Christian Liberation Movement activists has been rounded up, harassed and attacked in Santiago, the capital of Cuba. I expect you are aware that the president of this movement is none other than Oswaldo Payá, the winner of the 2002 Sakharov prize. Mr Payá has issued a statement detailing the events and calling on all governments and institutions to bring pressure to bear to ensure that these peaceful activists who belong to his movement survive unharmed.
I would therefore urge you to take up the case of these people, Mr President.
