Jesús Quiñones was covering the trial of "2 Christian homeschoolers, Pastor Ramón Rigal of the Church of God in Cuba, & his wife Ayda Expósito," were sentenced to prison "for refusing to send their children to govt-run schools," & began serving their sentence on April 19, 2019.
Roberto de Jesús Quiñones isn& #39;t alone, there are 5 other prisoners of conscience recognized by @Amnesty: Josiel Guía, Silverio Portal, Mitzael Paseiro, Eliecer Bandera, & Edilberto Ronal, over 127 political prisoners & over 8K Cubans charged w "pre-criminal social dangerousness."
With the threat of the SARS-CoV-2 it becomes an urgent necessity to obtain their freedom to save their lives. https://www.cubacenter.org/archives/2020/4/3/cubabrief-4-cuban-political-prisoners-sentenced-to-house-arrest-hundreds-remain-unjustly-jailed-in-cuba-center-calls-on-human-rights-orgs-to-push-for-their-freedom">https://www.cubacenter.org/archives/...
