In the spirit of our peoples' shared family holidays, we appeal to President Barack Obama and President Raul Castro to put forgiveness and charity above political righteousness.
It is past time for Alan Gross, Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González and René González to be restored to the love and warmth of their families
Each country must set aside the presumption of legal superiority, entrenched interest groups and policy agendas so that a simple act of compassion can occur.
This appeal has been launched by an independent non-governmental organization, the Fund for Reconciliation and Development of Dobbs Ferry, NY. director@ffrd.org
