USA: Unjust Punishment: Cuban wives denied visas for ninth time

Adriana Pérez and Olga Salanueva, Cuban nationals whose husbands are serving lengthy prison sentences in the USA, have for the ninth time been denied temporary visas allowing them to visit their husbands. Olga Salanueva has been told that she is now permanently ineligible for a visa. The US authorities have denied successive visa applications from both women over the course of seven years. Amnesty International urges the US government to once again consider granting temporary visas to the two women for visitation purposes.
