Save Life of Student Leader Nestor Rodríguez Lobaina

Result:
Nestor was freed and continues his activism for a free Cuba.

We are disappointed that as of yet Cuban authorities have not responded to concerns raised in appeals on behalf of Nestor Rodríguez Lobaina.
We are still seeking information on his current state of health and asking for details of what medical treatment he is receiving.
We urge that Nestor Rodríguez Lobaina receive all necessary medical care in accordance with provisions set out in international human rights standards, including being transferred to hospital if his condition requires additional medical treatment that he cannot get inside the prison.
We are urging that he be released immediately.
We are asking for an investigation into the brutal actions carried out by guards and by violent cellmates that resulted in two severe beatings and a broken jaw. We are asking for guarantees for his security, and hold the Cuban government responsible for past offenses against him and any in the future.
