Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) on Tuesday, 22 March 2011.


Cuba

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will make representations to the Government of Cuba to end the house arrest of Pastor Omar G Perez and to allow full freedom of conscience and worship to the Apostolic movement.
Answer

We welcome Pastor Omar Gude Perez’s conditional release on 28 January. While he is currently at home with his family, he is not under house arrest, as our embassy in Havana established when it spoke to him on 10 March. We will continue to closely monitor Pastor Perez’s case as well as respect for religious freedoms and continue to raise our concerns over human rights with the Cuban authorities.
