Spokesman Of The Cuban Libertarian Party Kidnapped By State Police – The Liberty Conservative

According to Zach Foster, International Libertarian activist, the Cuban Libertarian Party spokesman Nelson Rodriguez Chartrand was kidnapped by theCubanPolice. the State Security shows he is not in the records. Chartrand will either be held hostage or sent to the gulag. According to Mises Cuba, Chartrand was scheduled to meet up at the Benjamin Franklin Libertarian Library but never made it. This is not uncommon and is actually a norm for the states treatment of political prisoners.

In fact, the Cuban Libertarian Party (Partido Libertario Cubano- Jose Marti) was founded after two members of Mises Cuba were arrested for promoting free markets, small governments, and freedom. According to Tho Bishop, Director of Social Media Marketing at the Mises Institute:

[Ubaldo Herrera] Hernandez, who also oversees the Benjamin Franklin Libertarian Library project, was charged with the crime of attack, a common charge for political opponents. According to Mises Cuba and the PanAmPost, Hernandez was arrested after refusing to show ID to an undercover officer working for state security forces.

The Chair of the Libertarian National Committee has come out in defense of the two activists and said: Hernandez and Velazquez are political prisoners whose actions have harmed no one and damaged no property. We stand in solidarity with our fellow freedom fighters in Cuba.

A further message from the Libertarian Party States:

The Libertarian National Committee of the United States condemns the arrest and detention of political dissidents Ubaldo Herrera Hernandez and Manuel Velazquez, who have been detained by the Cuban government since their arrest on February 2.

Minutes after the passing of Fidel Castro, many world leaders came out to praise the communist dictator, and now with a little exposure we are coming to see the realities that these brave Cubans face.

You can message the Cancilleria de Cuba on Facebook or tweet them at @CubaMINREX. Right now letting them know that the world is watching could potentially help. Often it is public exposure that canstop the abuse of civil liberties or actually save lives.
