I. POSITION OF THE PETITIONERS
-
On June 19, 1996, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (the “Commission” or “IACHR”) received a petition submitted by José Remón and Gisela Labrada against the Cuban State on behalf of Hilda Maestre Hernández (mother of José Remón) and Jean Luis Remón Labrada (son of the petitioners).
