Letter of Silva family to the Chief Justice pleading for the release, on humanitarian grounds, of Adelberto Silva in the time of the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Our hearts cry out for our brother Adel and other persons deprived of liberty… their lives are in danger in their congested prison cells. They are just like all of us who deserve to be protected from the unseen corona virus…He is among the highly vulnerable, being 73 years old, has had a triple heart bypass in 2017. His gallbladder was also surgically removed which lessens his body defenses…He, along with other political prisoners, are human beings who, while not yet proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt are presumed innocent, and should be given the right to life as you and I enjoy…”
Letter originally published by Kapatid – Families and Friends of Political Prisoners
