HAVANA, Cuba, April 13 (acn) Seventy one British parliamentarians have written John Kerry, Secretary of State of the United States, urging him to grant entry visas to two Cuban women, Adriana Perez and Olga Salanueva, so they can visit their respective husbands serving sentences in that country.

Gerardo Hernandez, incarcerated in the USP Victorville, and Rene Gonzalez, now under supervised release in Florida after serving his sentence, are two of the five Cubans that were unfairly condemned by the U.S. government and that have been in prison since 1998, the www.cubadebate.cu Web site reported on Thursday.

On ten occasions, Salanueva and Perez have been denied visas to enter the United States, which would allow them to visit their husbands in prison. Amnesty International has declared that the treatment received by the two wives “is against of both the norms for the human treatment of prisoners and the obligation of countries of protecting family life.”
