Please sign the petition here:
To: The United Nations, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, the Organization of American States (OAS, OEA), the European Union, the US Congress, and the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates
We, the undersigned, would like to nominate Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet for the Nobel Peace Prize. But, as you all know, this Petition can only come from members of academies, university professors, scientists from numerous countries, previous Nobel Laureates, members of parliamentary assemblies and “others”, but not from “regular citizens”; this is the reason we contact you for this matter. We hope you can help us by submitting this candidate, Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet, for the Nobel Peace Prize for the coming year.
Dr Biscet is the Founder and President of The Lawton Foundation for Human Rights, founded in 1997 in Havana, Cuba, as a non-governmental humanitarian and peaceful organization based upon the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Lawton Foundation for Human Rights promotes the study, defense, and denunciation of human rights violations inside Cuba and wherever the rights and liberties of human beings are disregarded.
At this time, Dr Biscet; who was born in Havana, Cuba, on July 20th of 1961, to a family of modest means, and who obtained his degree as a specialist in Internal Medicine in 1985; is in Prison. On December 6, 2002, in Havana, when he was preparing to meet with human rights activists from Matanzas as part of the “Club for Friends of Human Rights,” the Cuban Secret Police detained him along with many of the activists. The group staged an act of nonviolent civil disobedience by lying down in front of the home and saying: “Long live human rights” and “freedom for political prisoners.” On this occasion, the peaceful protestors were arrested and taken to the Tenth Unit of the National Revolutionary Police (Décima Unidad de la PNR) on Acosta Avenue. During this prison period, he was placed for 19 days in a calabozo (punishment cell.)
After several months in prison and having been transferred from Villa Marista to Combinado Del Este Prison, on April 2003, Dr. Biscet was charged in a summary judgment with violation of Article 91 of the Cuban Penal Code which refers to crimes against state security. This time he was sentenced to a 25 year prison term. Presently, this peaceful human rights activist and devout Christian, follower of the philosophies of H. D. Thoreau, Ghandi, the Dalai Lama, and Martin Luther King, Jr., remains in prison due to his struggle for justice in Cuba.
We believe Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet deserve the Nobel Peace Prize due to his peaceful Human Right Activisms, not only in Cuba, but wherever the rights and liberties of human beings are disregarded. We hope to count with your support.

Nosotros, los firmantes, quisiéramos pedir la nominación para Premio Nobel de la Paz del Dr. Oscar Elías Biscet. Sin embargo, por ser esta Nominación solo aceptada de representantes de algún gobierno, previos ganadores, Profesores y Rectores de Universidades, Científicos y otros, no así de ciudadanos comunes, quisiéramos contar con su apoyo para tal causa.
El Dr. Biscet fue uno de los creadores y Presidente de la FUNDACIÓN LAWTON DE DERECHOS HUMANOS que se fundó en 1997 en La Habana, Cuba, como organización no gubernamental, pacífica y humanitaria, que promulga los principios establecidos por la Declaración Universal por los Derechos Humanos. La Fundación Lawton de Derechos Humanos promueve el estudio, la defensa y la denuncia de violaciones de derechos humanos dentro de Cuba y dondequiera que se violen los derechos y libertades de los seres humanos.
En estos momentos el Dr. Biscet, que nació de orígenes humildes en La Habana, Cuba, el 20 de julio de 1961 y en 1985 obtuvo su título en Medicina, con especialización en Medicina Interna, se encuentra preso acusado de haber violado el Artículo 91 del Código Penal de Cuba que se refiere a delitos contra la seguridad del estado. Sin embargo, su verdadero “delito” fue querer reunirse en La Habana con un grupo de activistas de derechos humanos de Matanzas como parte del proyecto Club de Amigos de los Derechos Humanos.
El grupo llevó a cabo un acto no violento de desobediencia civil durante el cual se acostaron frente a la casa y gritaron: “¡Vivan los derechos humanos!” y “¡Libertad para los presos políticos!”. Durante esta actividad arrestaron a los manifestantes pacíficos y los llevaron a la Décima Unidad de la Policía Nacional Revolucionaria en la Avenida Acosta. Durante esta detención, el Dr. Biscet estuvo preso en un calabozo por 19 días. Después de cumplir varios meses de prisión y de ser trasladado de Villa Marista a la Prisión Combinado del Este en abril de 2003, se le acusó, en un juicio sumario, y se le condenó a 25 años de prisión. Actualmente, este pacífico activista a favor de los derechos humanos, cristiano devoto, seguidor de las filosofías de H.D. Thoreau, Gandhi, Dalai Lama y Martin Luther King, Jr., continúa preso por su lucha a favor de que se restaure la justicia en Cuba.
El Dr. Oscar Elías Biscet es merecedor, y lo ha demostrado con su lucha firme y pacifica a favor de los Derechos Humanos, del Premio Nobel de la Paz, por lo que esperamos contar con su apoyo.

Sincerely,
