U.S. Attorney General
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001
(202) 353-1555
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales:
We respectfully request that you grant temporary visitation visas to entry into the United States to the following persons who are Cuban citizens and live in Cuba, in order to be able to visit their husbands, currently incarcerated in U.S. prisons:
Adriana Pérez O’Connor, wife of Gerardo Hernández, reg. #58739-004, who is currently in USP Victorville, California.
Olga Salanueva Arango, wife of René González, reg. #58738-004, who is currently in FCI Marianna, FL 32446,
The two women should be able to visit their husbands on humanitarian grounds. People in California and in the United States, as well as around the world, are aware of their situation. Their case is under appeal, and there is no justifiable reason to deny these families the right to visitation. Gerardo Hernandez has not seen his wife in 9 years and Rene Gonzalez has not seen his in 7 years.
We hope you will review this matter favorably and grant entry visas into the United States
Sincerely,
Robert Lieber Mayor Albany
