Lawton Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lawton Foundation was founded in 1997 in Havana, Cuba, as a non-governmental organization to promote the "study, defense and denunciation of human rights inside Cuba". The group was formed by Dr. Oscar Elías Biscet González and is made up of adult Cuban citizens of all ages, social groups, professionals as well as non-professionals. The group claims to have been censured, harassed, mistreated and incarcerated by the Cuban authorities. The Lawton Foundation has a branch in the United States and other branches internationally.
The Lawton Foundation is against abortion and euthanasia. In 1997, The Lawton Foundation carried out a ten-month research study at the Obstetrics / Pediatric Municipal Hospital in Havana and obtained unofficial statistical data concerning abortions, particularly on the Rivanol technique. This study was made public in April 1998, and officially delivered to the Cuban government on June 9, 1998, denouncing the Cuban National Health System and asking that all abortion procedures be discontinued. Oscar Elías Biscet and Rolando Muñoz Yyobre (a 29-year-old computer programming technician), both members of the Lawton's Foundation Executive Board, co-authored the study: " Rivanol: a Method to Destroy Life".
