To support the current call of the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonisation for the General Assembly to examine the colonial case of Puerto Rico, as well as their call for the liberation of Puerto Rican patriots in jail in the United States, one of whom, Oscar López, will this year reach 30 years of imprisonment.
