placement in local Arabic papers as well.

drawing upon reftel background materials and expressing

People to the government and have encouraged the GOB to
undertake its own expression of solidarity on May 21 by
calling attention to the Cuban regime's poor record on human
rights.
--We have explained the Day of Solidarity with the Cuban
People to local NGOs and have encouraged them to speak out on
May 21 in support of fellow human rights activists in Cuba.
We have also provided reftel website information and
