The Christian Liberation Movement is a Cuban dissident movement advocating political change in Cuba. The movement is led by Oswaldo Payá and was founded in 1988 by a group of secular Catholics belonging to the Parish of Cerro, in Havana. Its bank account for financial support (through donations and funding) is based in San Juan, Puerto Rico - although the movement itself works in Cuba.
Christian Liberation Movement has urged the governments, parliaments, citizens of the European Union to support "in a public and sustained manner the release of those jailed in Cuba for defending, promoting and exercising peacefully their human rights; the dialogue between Cubans as a path toward achieving the changes the Cuban people desire and national reconciliation; and our demands for changes in the laws so that the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of all Cubans are respected".[1]
