Winnie Biscet, daughter of the Cuban prisoner of conscience Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet is asking for your help.
"I WANT THAT PEOPLE WRITE SOMETHING TO MY FATHER ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SAY TO HIM. IT HAS TO BE IN SPANISH! IM GOING TO SEND ALL THOSE WRITING TO HIM AS SOON YOU SEND IT TO ME. I KNOW HE WILL LOVE IT. I WANT TO D[O] IT FOR "FATHERS DAY" PLEASE SEND TO MY EMAIL (winnie_biscet@yahoo.com)"
What do you say to a hero? What do you tell a courageous man who prefers to be in prison than in exile because of the depth of his convictions? Think about it and then send it to Winnie.
H/T: Felix L. Ricardo and Ramon G.

It's winnie_biscet@yahoo.com as per the email that was sent to me. There's an underscore between the two names.

Damnit Henry, you just turned on the waterworks in my eyes by posting that. Of course we'll write!
Cheers,

Querido Hermano,
Que se puede decir – un exilio – a un hermano cubano sufriendo tanto por simplmente haber ejercitado su derecho a la libertad de expression. No hay palabras. Yo, senor, puedo escribir sobre asuntos politicos en Cuba sin el temor de un arresto, sin el temor de perder mi trabajo (como vivo en otro pais). Pero gente como Ud., que todavia viven en nuestra isla tan linda, que siguen luchando sin pensar en las consecuencias, son los verdaderos heroes de nuestra patria tan querida. Y tener una hija tan dedicada a su padre y sus obras, que ha solicitada estos mensajos, es un testamento a su fuerza y honor como on padre, un hombre, un cubano. Querido hermano, hay miles y miles y miles de personas en este mundo pensando en ti, y otros sufriendo los mismos humillaciones. Y voy a decirte otra cosa: algun dia bien pronto, todos nosotros estaremos juntos para celebrar una Cuba DE LOS CUBANOS. No de los turistas que sienten bien, tirando su dinero a un gobierno que nos ha tratado tan mal. No de los gobernantes coruptos que han dicho tantas mentiras solamente para preserver su poder. No senor. Va a ser una isla en donde sus propios ciudadanos son los que manejen sus futuros, sin las cadenas de la esclavitud dictadura. Todos nosotros – los cubanos de la isla, y los en el exilio, estan contigo cada dia – y estariamos contigo el dia de tu liberacion.
Con mucho afecto,
Anatasio Blanco

The email is correct with the underscore. I copied and pasted the entire text, including the email address, from the email that I received.
It is also posted with the underscore on the Facebook group. So, it should work.
