Cuban authorities deny Christian family’s exit: challenge this today!
The Gude Perez family have waited months for permission to leave Cuba together.  Last autumn they were promised exit visas, but until now the relevant authorities have failed to make good on their assurances:  The last remaining exit visa for Omar Gude Perez, the husband and father of the family, has so far been denied.  And there are only a few weeks left before the asylum offer for the entire family expires.
And it’s primarily due to the family’s openness about their experiences of religious persecution.

Send a message to the Cuban embassy - You can help by contacting the Cuban embassy in your country and highlighting the illegality of the Cuban authorities’ actions.
