The Ministry of Foreign Affairs follows with attention and grave
concern the cases of many representatives of Cuban political
opposition currently standing trial as well as the already passed
prison sentences and their length. The Czech Republic calls on the
Government of Cuba to honour its international commitments and
obligations related to the protection of human rights stressing the
observance of the rules of just and impartial legal proceedings.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would welcome active cooperation of
the Government of Cuba with the mechanisms of the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights and in particular with the personal
representative of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights for
Cuba. The Czech Republic at the same time offers Cuba its
assistance in mediating this dialogue which should proceed from the
already approved resolutions of the UN Commission on Human Rights.
