[Judi Lynn]

Buenos Aires, July 12 (Prensa Latina) Argentinean Nobel Peace Prize winner, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, is promoting today, together with many of his countrymen and women, the international demand to grant the Nobel Peace Prize to the Cuban medical brigade Henry Reeve. In a video circulated by the Argentine Movement of Solidarity with Cuba (MasCuba), the prominent human rights defender expressed his support for the candidacy of the Cuban doctors that are today around the world saving lives in the midst of the pandemic.

Cuban health professionals, he said, deserve the Nobel for all the humanitarian work they do in the most inhospitable and needy places. In the face of this global pandemic, they are present to serve the human being; they are the builders of peace, Perez Esquivel stressed. In Argentina, more than 500 signatures and adhesions from some 80 organizations gathered through an active Broad Commission support the demand that the Cuban medical brigade Henry Reeve be granted the Nobel Peace Prize.

At the moment, over 2,500 of them, grouped in 37 brigades, are risking their lives in Italy, Jamaica, Belize, Mexico, Venezuela, Antigua and Barbuda, Andorra, Togo, Peru, South Africa, Kuwait, among other countries, and ready to come to Argentina if the national government makes its request for help concrete, the petition points out.
