For President Obama to free Oscar Lopez Rivera before he ends his term as President.

Created by A.D. on December 09, 2016

President Obama, Throughout your presidential term, the people of Puerto Rico, our politicians, political arties, media, celebrities, teachers, writers, journalists, workers, have united behind one common cause: the freedom of Oscar Lopez Rivera. Rivera has been imprisoned for more than 34 years, many of those years in solitary confinement. Whatever your stance into his wrongdoing, we can safely conclude he has done his time. He does not pose a threat, and he deserves to be home with his family to live in peace the rest of his years.
Please, President Obama, do what is right and release Oscar Lopez Rivera before your term ends. With the election results, now more than ever, we need you to hear the voice and plead of the Puerto Rican people.
