Hi Folks, it's really easy to do this; just follow instructions, and email gets written automatically for you, you just have to check it and click 'send':

Dear Friend,

Please ask your MP to sign Early Day Motion 497 for visitation rights for the Miami Five.

(copy link below into search engine):

September 2012 marks 14 years that the Miami Five have been imprisoned in US jails. For twelve of these years, two of their wives, Adriana Perez and Olga Salanueva, have been denied visitation rights by the US government.

We need to let the US authorities know that the world is watching and knows about their cruelty towards these two women and their husbands. What better way to do that than to get British MPs to support this message.

EDM 497 calls on the US government to make a humanitarian gesture on behalf of Adriana and Olga and let them see their husbands. Please write to your MP today and ask them to sign up, or sign our solidarity wall if you live outside the UK.

Their case is supported by human rights, religious and legal organisations around the world. Amnesty International states that “denying the men visits from their wives is unnecessarily punitive and contrary to standards for humane treatment of prisoners and states’ obligations to protect family life.”

Please take just 30 seconds to email your MP now and ask them to sign EDM 497.

Or if you live abroad please sign our solidarity wall. Support Adriana and Olga and the Miami Five today.

Thank you.
