After three and a half years of imprisonment, this is the moment that Pastor Lorenzo Rosales Fajardo was met at the prison gates by his wife Maridilegnis, son David and daughter Lorena.
On Friday 17 January at 8am, the Cuban pastor was met at the prison gates by his family.
This was the family reunion we have all been waiting for since 11 July 2021, when Pastor Lorenzo Rosales Fajardo was unjustly arrested for peacefully protesting. That’s 1,286 days of prayer, campaigning and advocacy!
Pastor Lorenzo was chosen to be one of 553 political prisoners freed as part of negotiations with the Vatican and the administration of US President Biden.
Please pray that this freedom will be permanent and unconditional – that there will be no cruel twists to this happy news.
And to everyone who has stood with this family in prayer and action: THANK YOU!
