He is a Cuban dissident who, in 2003, was sentenced to 25 years in jail in Cuba for, among other things, insulting the fatherland and unpatriotic acts.
Biscet is a major figure in the fight against Castro in Cuba. He is well-known, but the MSM in the Western world seems to have completely ignored this story.
In jail, he is suffering from recurring infections, high blood pressure, poor dental health (he's lost molars) and is slowly losing his eyesight. He is dependent on his family's providing medicine to stay healthy and alive.
I think this seems to me to be a worthwhile story to follow. He is fighting the good fight, fighting for the things many of us fight for, but he has gone to jail for it.
Agreed. Thanks for bringing us this story. Hope that the current regime in Cuba is soon history.

Spotlight on Cuba By Rai Rojas (2001)
"In the early 1990s the drug Rivanol was being used to provide young Cuban women with chemically induced abortions. Dr. Biscet began researching and compiling evidence as to how this strong abortifacient was being used to destroy children. He also documented many accounts of children being killed after surviving this type of abortion.
He discovered that Rivanol is made in Germany. It is an acridine derivative and it appears to be an antimicrobial dye. It is classified as an antiseptic. But just as sodium chloride is classified as an electrolyte replacement, it can also be used as an abortifacient. The generic name for Rivanol is ethacidrine lactate. Trade names include Emcredil, Acrinol, and Rival. This substance is not available in the United States.Used for abortion in the first and second trimesters, Rivanol is injected into the amniotic sac. Studies showed that it produced an abortion in 98.8% of cases within 48 hours. The countries where these studies were conducted were India and Vietnam.
Subsequent to Dr. Biscet's research he wrote a paper titled " Rivanol: A Method to Destroy Life." It was made public in April 1998. On June 9 of that same year Dr. Biscet denounced the Cuban National Health System as being a party to genocide.Shortly thereafter Dr. Biscet was officially expelled from the Cuban National Health System and has since been unable to perform as a physician in his own country. In February 1999 Dr. Biscet staged a peaceful pro-life protest in front of an abortion facility notorious for providing Rivanol abortions. He and another pro-life doctor were savagely beaten by a mob." - Excerpts. He was arrested November 3 1999 and was imprisoned. He was then released on October 31, 2002. He was rearrested on December 2002. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison on April 2003.

They have had nearly 50 years to inquire about the prisons that Fidel Castro runs but no one asks tough questions about that. It is not that the leftist "journalists" are indifferent about Cuba. They have time to visit Fidel in his mansions. They have time to go on hunting trips with Fidel. They write fawning stories about Fidel's knowledge of baseball. These journalists are too busy reporting on the "real" Cuba as represented by Castro to bother with something beneath them such as some human rights activist in prison. These journalists could not even imagine how anyone could be critical about "paradise." Thus, a dissident does not even exist to them.
Thank you for the alert. Just sent a prayer for him and his family.
