Dear Pope Leo:

Andry Hernández Romero is innocent. But he’s locked in one of the world’s most brutal prisons in El Salvador – all because of two tattoos meant to honour his Catholic faith. We urge you, Your Holiness, to call for his immediate release. Your voice could help save his life.

Pope Leo: Save Andry
Andry came to the US fleeing persecution for being gay. Now, the US government has secretly flown him to one of the world’s most dangerous prisons.

Why? They said it’s because of two crown tattoos with the words “mom” and “dad”. They’re customary in Andry’s hometown, honouring his Catholicism, Three Kings Day and his parents. But in Trump’s war on immigrants, they are being considered gang symbols.

As the head of the Catholic community, the new Pope could help save him if he speaks out. His voice is one the President of El Salvador may actually listen to – as the President's own mother is Catholic!

Add your name to this urgent petition to save Andry, before it’s too late!
