A Norwegian MP is promoting Fidel Castro for the Nobel Peace Prize.
You can actually support this nomination over the internet by
accessing the following website.

Monday, August 13th, Fidel Castro just celebrated his 75th birthday.
Let's help show the massive international respect we all share for
this amazing human being. Please support this nomination, even if he
doesn't win, it is a sign of the profound respect and gratitude so
many of us feel for his life which has been given to the service of
humanity.

On the 31st of January 2001 Fidel Castro, as a representative of the Cuban
people, was suggested as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize by Hallgeir
H. Langeland, a representative of the Norwegian Parliament. Langeland
emphasizes the fact that Fidel Castro and the Cuban people have succeeded in
developing their country in such a way that the creation of hostile feelings
towards the USA and its people has been avoided. This they have managed in
spite of the USA's embargo and its general aggression towards Cuba and the
Cuban people for over 40 years. Langeland also stresses Cuba's international
involvement and solidarity. After the accident in Tsjernobyl, Cuba has
received and treated more than 14000 children and over 4000 adults injured
by nuclear radiation ( a few hundred are still receiving treatment there).
People from a number of other poor countries also receive free health
services in Cuba.

Cuba has had more doctors and health personnel in the Third World than the
rest of the world (WHO). Thousands of Cuban doctors, health personnel,
engineers and other humanitarian workers work in more than 40 Third World
countries and free university education has been given to 5000 doctors from
Latin America. At the UN's Main Assembly Meeting, where many of the
delegates expressed concern about the grave lack of doctors in the Third
World, Fidel Castro offered the UN 6000 doctors and other health personnel.

Cuba's international efforts for freedom and peace are acknowledged by among
others the former President of South Africa and winner of the Nobel Peace
Prize, Nelson Mandela, who in 1999 stated that: -Without Cuba's support we
would not have had our freedom now.

Cuba has for several years been in a very difficult economical situation. In
spite of this the country has managed to achieve social and economical
growth and distribution of goods. The country has accomplished and defended
important social human rights such as work, housing and food for all its
inhabitants. Health services and education are still free.

We support the parliamentary representative Hallgeir H. Langeland's
suggestion, and we believe that the Cuban people, represented by Fidel
Castro, is a worthy candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. We hope that the
Nobel Committee will be of the same opinion.
