Concerns are escalating over the well-being of Jose Daniel Ferrer, a Cuban dissident imprisoned for his participation in the July 11, 2021 protests and not seen in months, now reported to be in critical condition and on the brink of death. Senator Rick Scott has been vocal, demanding proof of life and calling for Ferrer's immediate release from the Cuban regime, labeling it illegitimate and communist. Ferrer's daughter, alongside activist Carlos Oliva, has been demanding signs of life outside Mar Verde prison, seeking answers about her father's whereabouts. The Cuban government allowed a brief two-minute visit by Ferrer's daughter, the first in months, revealing his dire health condition and urgent need for medical treatment. Another Cuban woman serving an eight-year sentence for her participation in the protests reported that authorities are trying to force her to terminate her pregnancy. Senator Scott has also urged President Biden and the State Department to demand Ferrer's release, emphasizing the urgency as Ferrer's life hangs in the balance.
I just spoke with the @StateDept urging the administration to call for the immediate release of @JDanielFerrer. There’s no excuse for inaction while this man’s life hangs in the balance. #SOSCuba #FreeFerrer #PruebaDeVida #LieberenATodosLosPresosPolíticos https://t.co/zPZCHyky9f
