Honrar a los Martires, Cuidar a los Heroes y Heroinas
Tres Verdades
Por Andrés Pascual
Yo le hubiera sugerido a Reina Loyda Zapata que se
asilara por el peligro que corría la madre de un patriota que murió
asesinado en huelga de hambre, sin embargo, nunca que trajera las
cenizas de Orlando, porque la memoria histórica se le rinde en el lugar
donde ofrendó su vida, esos restos son una reliquia, cuyo valor moral es
de uso, sobre todo si la lucha continúa ¿O no? Entonces tienen que
permanecer en la tierra donde nació y murió; regresar los restos “cuando
aquello cambie”, frase al uso, oportunista y muy pisoteada, que
sustituyó “cuando lo tumbemos”, suena “hueco”, por lo menos respecto al
momento actual en Cuba,
En La Habana está Rosa María Payá, fue a honrar la
memoria de su padre, otro mártir en pro del respeto por los derechos
humanos (odio decir derechos humanos en vez de lucha para derribar a
esos asesinos del poder ilegítimo que usurparon, legalizado hoy por la
marca registrada de Francia en esa mentira, que fue donde nació la frase
famosa. Rosa no ha dicho nunca que la familia pretenda traer los restos
de Osvaldo, porque esos restos, como los de cualquier luuchador contra
el castrismo, no podrían descansar en suelo ajeno nunca, serían almas en
penas vagando sin rumbo.
Alrededor de este viaje de la hija del dirigente del
Proyecto Varela, tengo dos reflexiones: la primera, la visita es una
invitación a los socios de Obama, de Hollande y del Vaticano para que
intenten reprimirla, quizás hasta asesinarla, a fin de cuentas, saben
que no pasaría nada en su círculo de relaciones, las viejas y las
novísimas, como la de los EUA comunistas; porque el mundo conoce el
valor de la joven debe estar en control y alerta de lo que significa el
desafío; en primer lugar, los luchadores “por los derechos humanos”
deben estar muy pendientes de la muchacha por si sucede lo que nadie
quisiera, porque (lo comprobamos en la prisión) le temen solo a quienes
no les temen, pero ese miedo lo convierten en cobardes ataques contra la
integridad civil del individuo.
Yo no le hubiera sugerido a Rosa que fuera a La
Habana, pero está en su derecho y convencida, la muchacha es radical,
determinada y dio el paso más arriesgado, lleno de amor al padre y a la
patria sometida.
A Cuba se debe ir armado, en infiltración para
demoler la estructura política criminal de una tiranía de sucesión que,
como escribió Martí: “le roe el tuétano a la patria”, no de otra forma y
debe ser apoyada por todo opositor genuino, patriota, de adentro
¿Hay miedo, escollos insalvables? pues a Rosa María
TODOS tenemos que cuidarla, por su vida, por lo que representa, porque
es necesaria aquí su denuncia, no su recuerdo en un par de letras o en
una foto o placa en algún lugar de recordación.
No se puede estimular en nadie con su valor el
suicido por exceso de soberbia patriótica innecesaria, que, en los
círculos del poder mundial que mantienen al monstruo, no causaría ningún
efecto positivo de acuerdo a la intención, demostrado diariamente.
Sin embargo, como todo desde la órbita de cierto tipo
de oposición en Miami (y en Cuba) ¿Cuántos alentaron ese viaje para
ultilizar, como justificación “de lucha”, la posible reacción represiva
de la tiranía contra Rosa, como el elemento incendiario (necesario a) de
ideales patrióticos trasnochados, contenidos en cheques de grant, en
notas de periódicos o en el titular hipócrita de corta duración de Radio
Martí?
¿Cuántos tal vez deseen que a la joven la maten para
seguir pachangueando? por cierto, bueno que se abran los ojos, ya no hay
comparsa contra el castrismo, no se pudo por errrores que generaron
entregas capitales, como la de Miami, nos queda denunciar, criticar,
hablar, escribir, cobrar los “elegidos”…y buscar por todos los medios
que una joven como Rosa María Payá no vaya a Cuba, porque, bueno es
entenderlo, el Papa, Obama, Hollande y el mundo premian al castrismo
cada vez que reduce y somete a la oposición, a la vez que amplía el gran
panteón de mártires en una lucha que se perdió, tanto que ni ha podido
servir como experiencia para nadie.

Rosa Maria Paya: Don't Turn Your Backs on Cubans Again
capitolhillcubans
Excerpts from today's Senate testimony by Cuba democracy leader, Rosa Maria Paya:
The Cuban government has permitted more people to operate small businesses, but due to the Cuban laws, entrepreneurs cannot be a factor to foster democracy because their existence as “private” owners depends on their submission to the government. There cannot be free markets where there are no free persons.
The Cuban government said it would free 53 political prisoners, but instead it released them on parole. Meanwhile, many others were not freed at all. Yosvani Melchor was transferred to a maximum security prison last December. He was put in prison 4 years ago for being the son of a member of the Christian Liberation Movement, who refused to cooperate with State Security. The young artist Danilo Maldonado, known as El Sexto, was imprisoned after December 17 without committing any crime. The regime turns political prisoners into pieces to be exchanged, because they can catch-and-release at will more political prisoners, and democratic nations accept this blackmail with innocent citizens [...]
On 22 July 2012, Cuban State Security detained the car in which my father, Oswaldo Payá, and my friend Harold Cepero, along with two young European politicians, were traveling. All of them survived, but my father disappeared for hours only to reappear dead, in the hospital in which Harold would die without medical attention.
The Cuban government wouldn’t have dared to carry out its death threats against my father if the US government and the democratic the world had been showing solidarity. If you turn your face, impunity rages. While you slept, the regime was conceiving their cleansing of the pro-democracy leaders to come. While you sleep, a second generation of dictators is planning with impunity their next crimes.
Don’t turn your backs on Cubans again; don’t earn the distrust of the new actors of our inevitably free future, in exchange for complicity with a gerontocracy who belongs to the Cold War era.

Three Cuba Hearings on Capitol Hill
From The Miami Herald:Cuba hearings to begin Tuesday on Capitol Hill
The first in a series of congressional hearings examining the potential impact of President Barack Obama’s new Cuba policy gets underway Tuesday in the Senate.
Later in the week, the action switches to the House with two hearings: the main show — “Assessing the Administration’s Sudden Shift’’ — before the Committee on Foreign Affairs on Wednesday and a subcommittee hearing on human rights in Cuba on Thursday.
The common theme for this week’s hearings seems to be whether Obama gave away too much without getting enough from Cuba as the two countries work toward restoring diplomatic relations.
That’s the position of Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Western Hemisphere subcommittee called the first Cuba hearing at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
In an opinion piece he wrote Monday for CNN, Rubio recalled a line from The Godfather Part II in which mob character Michael Corleone responds to the demands of a U.S. senator by saying, “My offer is this: nothing.”
“In recent months, I’ve made clear that I believe the president and his allies in Congress are misguided for supporting a policy that gives away practically all the leverage the United States has to bring about democratic change in Cuba in exchange for virtually nothing,” wrote Rubio.
The senator said he wants answers on what the administration has done to secure the repatriation of an estimated 70 fugitives from U.S. justice who now live in Cuba as well as “what exactly the Castro regime has done in exchange for Obama’s softening of travel and banking regulations that will now allow more U.S. dollars to fill the Castro regime’s coffers.”
Rubio, who is testing the waters for a possible presidential run, called the hearing the same day he assumed the subcommittee chairmanship last week.
Among those scheduled to testify at the Senate hearing are Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson, who recently headed the U.S. delegation during normalization talks in Havana, and Tomasz Malinowski, assistant secretary for democracy, human rights, and labor.
Rosa María Payá, of the Cuban Christian Liberation Movement, also is scheduled to testify. She is the daughter of Oswaldo Payá, one of Cuba’s most respected dissidents when he died in a mysterious 2012 car crash.
She’ll be joined by activists Berta Soler, Miriam Leiva, and Manuel Cuesta Morúa.
There’s expected to be an overflow crowd when the House Foreign Affairs Committee convenes at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
“The Obama administration’s sudden shift on Cuba policy raises many concerns, including how hard the United States pressed the Castro regime on its abysmal human-rights record during the secret White House negotiations that cut out the State Department,” said Republican Rep. Ed Royce, a Californian who chairs the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
“When it comes to the unilateral concessions provided to the Castro regime, the Obama administration has much to answer for. From the commercial goodie bag provided to the Castro regime to the pardons bestowed upon three convicted spies, one of whom was responsible for the murder of American citizens, the concessions provided to these Caribbean despots is pathetic,” said South Florida Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
“I look forward to hearing from State, Treasury, and Commerce and questioning the basis for normalizing relations with an unworthy regime that continues to detain dissidents,” she said.
In addition to Jacobson, John E. Smith, deputy director of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration Matthew S. Borman are slated to testify.
During a Thursday morning hearing on human rights before the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations, Jorge Luis García Pérez, an anti-Castro activist known as Antúnez, will testify.

Rosa Maria Paya to Join Senator Rubio at State of the Union

Rubio Announces Rosa Maria Paya as His Guest for State of the Union
Rubio Announces Rosa Maria Paya as His Guest for State of the Union
Ms. Payá is daughter of slain Cuban democracy leader Oswaldo Payá
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today announced that Cuban activist Rosa María Payá will be his official guest for Tuesday evening’s State of the Union address by President Obama. Payá is the daughter of the late Oswaldo Payá who, along with Cuban youth activist Harold Cepero, was killed in an automobile accident on July 22, 2012, in Bayamo, Cuba.
Since then, the vehicle’s driver has alleged that the car was deliberately targeted by Cuban government officials. However, the Cuban regime has denied all requests to conduct an independent investigation.
In announcing Ms. Payá as his guest, Rubio issued the following statement:
“For years, Oswaldo Payá courageously traveled throughout Cuba collecting tens of thousands of signatures from ordinary Cubans on a petition that came to be known as the Varela Project, which sought a peaceful democratic transition. All Oswaldo Payá wanted was a better future for Cuba and the Cuban people, and the Castro regime assassinated him for it.
I’m honored that Rosa María Payá will join us in the Capitol on Tuesday evening as the president addresses our nation. Since her father’s murder, Rosa María has honored his legacy by continuing to advocate for a free and democratic Cuba and also fighting to bring his murderers to justice. In 2013, Rosa María visited the Senate and met with several senators who pledged their assistance in her search for justice.
In his remarks, I expect the president will bring up his new Cuba policy, especially since his administration is heading to Havana this week to discuss giving the regime legitimacy and greater access to American dollars it will use to fund its machine of repression – the very machine that harassed Oswaldo Payá for years, eventually murdered him and pays hush money to potential key witnesses.
While I disagree with the president’s new Cuba policy, I hope Rosa María Payá’s presence on Tuesday night will at least remind him that her father’s murderers have not been brought to justice, and that the U.S. is now, in fact, sitting at the table with them. I hope the administration takes the opportunity to demand reforms and changes in Cuban behavior before relations are normalized. At the very least, President Obama and his administration should push the Cuban regime to allow an impartial, third party investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Oswaldo and Harold.”

U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power Meets Rosa Maria Paya
In The Washington Post:
US envoy to UN meets with Cuban dissident’s daughter, presses for investigation into his death
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power says she met with the daughter of Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya and discussed the need for an investigation into his death.
Power has been advocating for an investigation into Paya’s death since taking up her post as ambassador to the United Nations in August. One of her first acts as ambassador was to ask Cuba’s foreign minister during a rare encounter at the U.N. for an investigation.
Power said in a tweet Tuesday that she spoke with Rosa Maria Paya about “the need for an international/independent investigation” into her father’s death.
Cuba’s government said Paya died in a car crash in July 2012 but his family insists the crash was not an accident and has pressed for an international investigation.

La activista Rosa María Payá Acevedo fue seleccionada entre las mujeres más poderosas de 2013, según el ránking de la revista norteamericana People en Español.
La publicación la ubica en el lugar diez, en una lista que forman artistas, empresarias, activistas y periodistas.

Payá Acevedo, de 24 años de edad, vive en Miami desde mediados de este año, junto a su familia.
Ella y su madre, Ofelia Acevedo, han exigido en reuniones y encuentros internacionales la apertura de una investigación formal sobre la muerte de Oswaldo Payá.
El ránking de People en Español lo encabeza la actriz y cantante Jennifer López. Luego le siguen Kate del Castillo (actriz), Carmen Salinas (actriz y productora) y Sofía Vergara (actriz).

Dos patrias tiene ella: Cuba y Miami
¿O son una las dos?
La llegada de la familia Payá a este ciudad ha iniciado un capítulo nuevo en la larga historia del exilio y la lucha contra el régimen castrista. Ahora se puede ser disidente y opositor en esta orilla del estrecho de la Florida, trasladar el buró de La Habana a Miami y establecer el puesto de mando en cualquier suburbio. Como en las ofertas de tiempo compartido —donde varias familias se reúnen para comprar una vivienda de verano y se ponen de acuerdo para dividirse los meses en que la utiliza cada cual—, los cuarteles de invierno se levantan al resguardo del aire acondicionado y con la garantía de que no hay amenaza de apagones constantes si en el futuro falta el petróleo venezolano, siempre que se pague la cuenta de electricidad.
Por supuesto que nadie que vive desde hace años en el exilio tiene derecho a criticar que otros compartan igual destino, así que lo primero es un saludo de bienvenida para la familia Payá y el mejor de los deseos de una estancia grata y un futuro promisorio.
Continuar el discurso opositor en este lado del estrecho puede resultar enaltecedor, entretenido y en ocasiones hasta provechoso. Solo que aquí también hay la posibilidad de criticar y discutirlo; no rechazarlo con actos de repudio, violencia y gritos, sino simplemente expresar otra opinión.
La familia Payá ha escogido un camino no heroico, y tiene todo su derecho a ello. A Miami vino todo lo que quedaba de la familia en Cuba. Cinco miembros llegaron el jueves a Miami: su viuda Ofelia Acevedo, su hija Rosa María y su hijo Reinaldo; además de la madre de Acevedo, de 86 años, y una hermana. Una hermana de Payá y una tía habían llegado el 30 de mayo. Su hijo mayor, Oswaldo, se asentó en Miami unos meses antes, de acuerdo a una información ofrecida en El Nuevo Herald.
Lo novedoso del caso es que no se lo plantean como un viaje sin regreso o un destierro hasta el final de la dictadura castrista. Nada de ello. Gracias a la Ley de Ajuste Cubano, y gracias también a la nueva política migratoria del gobierno de Raúl Castro, pueden estar hasta dos años por aquí y en cualquier momento regresar a la Isla sin necesitar permiso de las autoridades cubanas. Y por supuesto, también luego regresar a Estados Unidos.
Así que la oposición acaba de inaugurar la posibilidad de estar entrando y saliendo de Cuba por temporadas, mantener viviendas en ambos países y dejar que el tiempo pase, los hermanos Castro se mueran y ver si entonces el futuro de Cuba es más luminoso u oscuro. Para decirlo en cubano: capear el temporal, cualquier temporal. Mientras tanto, y con la residencia asegurada gracias a la Ley de Ajuste, los más jóvenes iniciar una nueva vida y edificarse un futuro en un país que de pronto se ha convertido en una especie de foster home para los hijos y servicios de asistencia social para los de edad avanzada. Todo ello sin necesidad de adquirir compromiso alguno con la nación que sirve de país de adopción en cuanto a beneficios, pero que en realidad no lo es en cuanto a un compromiso ciudadano.
Desde el punto de vista de la nación que brinda los servicios, hay en todo esto una ética al menos dudosa. También unas circunstancias difíciles de admitir por el resto de la ciudadanía, nacida aquí o procedente de otros países, en especial en un momento en que se discute la posibilidad de una nueva ley migratoria.
A su vez, y desde el punto de vista de la nación de la cual se escapa, pero a la que no se renuncia volver, una salida aprovechada y poco heroica.
Por supuesto que las salidas poco heroicas son por lo general bienvenidas para quien escribe este comentario, que a veces hasta las aplaude pero que al mismo tiempo no se traga el cuento del patriotismo estilo siglo XIX.
Si la candela aprieta y la situación en la Isla se le ha tornado difícil a la familia Payá, cuyos miembros han expresado que han sido amenazados verbalmente, pues es normal que pongan los pies en polvorosa.

La viuda y los hijos de Oswaldo Payá se exilian en Estados Unidos
El pasado jueves 6 de Junio arribó a la ciudad de Miami la señora Ofelia Acevedo Maura, viuda de Oswaldo Payá, fundadora y miembro del Consejo Coordinador del Movimiento Cristiano Liberación, en compañía de su hija Rosa María, también miembro del Consejo Coordinador del MCL, de su hijo menor Reinaldo y de otros miembros de su familia.
Hoy es mas vital para alcanzar los cambios reales que conduzcan a la sincera democracia evitar se desoiga la expresión popular que constituye el reclamo libre y legalmente sustentado por más de 25 mil ciudadanos de realización del Plebiscito del Proyecto Varela. El Movimiento Cristiano Liberación no abandona las demandas genuinas del pueblo, por eso, junto a nuestros hermanos exigimos esta consulta ciudadana que puede comenzar la transición verdadera.
Trabajamos con amor en la propuesta de la oposición conocida como El Camino del Pueblo que expresa los objetivos comunes del movimiento democrático cubano. Es la hoja de ruta hacia los derechos que imposibilita se escamoteen, con el cambio fraude, los pasos auténticos que traigan la libertad y la prosperidad a nuestro país, con todos y para el bien de todos.
Desde dentro y fuera de la Isla continuamos tomando acciones en función de la implementación de la investigación internacional independiente que esclarezca públicamente las muertes de Oswaldo Paya y Harold Cepero.
Invitamos a todas las personas de buena voluntad a promover y apoyar estas demandas.
¡Todos Cubanos, Todos Hermanos y Ahora la Libertad!

Familia de Payá y MCL desautorizan declaraciones de Elizardo Sánchez
si el exagente juana [?] metio la pata o quiso meterla sumandose rapidamente a la version oficial de regimen que atribuia a un accidente la muerte de paya y harold, lo cierto es que ahora esta apoyando una investigacion internacional sobre los turbios hechos la cual es la
principal demanda de la familia paya en este asunto. si elizardo lo hace por su cuenta o cumpliendo orientaciones, resulta lo menos relevante, al final coinciden en las exigencias al margen que mientras colaboraba con la contrainteligencia cubana segun el informaba a 5 potencias extranjeras para cubrirse las espaldas.

La familia de Oswaldo Payá y el Movimiento Cristiano Liberación publicaron una declaración en su página digital donde desautorizan a Elizardo Sánchez, portavoz de la Comisión de Derechos Humanos y Reconciliación Nacional de Cuba (CDHRN) y a Alejandro González Raga, uno de los 75 opositores detenidos en la Primavera Negra del 2003, a realizar versión alguna sobre lo ocurrido el 22 de julio de 2012, donde falleció Oswaldo Payá y Harold Cepero.
También desautorizan "toda mención que hagan de Oswaldo y Harold en foro alguno o medio público o privado", los dos mencionados.
El martes 23 de abril, en Madrid, Elizardo Sánchez, en conferencia de prensa en la Fundación Hispano Cubana, dijo apoyar una investigación internacional para determinar las causas de la muerte. Sus palabras fueron publicadas por diferentes medios de comunicación desde Madrid, donde el veterano activista de derechos humanos de Cuba se encuentra de visita.
Tanto la familia de Payá como el Movimiento Cristiano Liberación afirman que "dado su comportamiento y sus antecedentes, el señor Sánchez no tiene la confianza del MCL ni de la familia de Oswaldo Payá para hacer mención alguna de su nombre".
En la nota recuerdan que "horas después de este atentado mortal, el Sr Sánchez adelantó públicamente la versión manipulada del gobierno cubano anunciando los hechos como un accidente" y Sánchez "se basó en informaciones dadas por elementos señalados por los activistas pacíficos de la zona como colaboradores de la seguridad del estado".
Afirman la declaración que a través de Alejandro González Raga, el portavoz del CDHRN pidió a la familia aceptar la versión oficial. Y ambos mencionados, dice el MCL y la familia de Payá, no se han retractado.

U.S. Senators Meet With Rosa Maria Paya

Senators Meet With Rosa Maria Payá, Discuss Democracy In Cuba
Senators Renew Call for Investigation into Death of Payá's Father, Oswaldo, A Political Reformer
Washington, D.C. – A bipartisan group of Senators met with Rosa Maria Payá, the daughter of Cuban political reformer Oswaldo Payá, in the U.S. Capitol today, to discuss democratic reforms in Cuba and to reiterate their call for an investigation into Mr. Payá’s troubling death last year in which he, and youth activist Harold Cepero, were killed in a suspicious car accident.
The meeting today was hosted by Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and was attended by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL). Last month, the four Senators sent a letter to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, urging the Commission to investigate Mr. Payá’s death. A copy of the letter is available here.
“Oswaldo Payá’s death has meant other courageous Cuban democracy leaders must continue the work of fighting for their freedom and exposing the regime’s cruelty. It is our job to support these leaders that Oswaldo inspired and laid the groundwork for, while holding the regime accountable for his death,” said Rubio. “Despite her tragic loss, Rosa Maria Payá is a courageous woman who deserves the support of the United States and entire international community in getting real answers on Oswaldo’s death through an independent investigation.”
“Oswaldo Payá’s death was a tragic blow to the peaceful and courageous democracy movement in Cuba and deserves a full and open investigation,” Durbin said. “Rosa Maria’s tireless efforts to call attention to her father’s death show that efforts to reform the political climate in Cuba will not be easily silenced. We stand with Oswaldo, Rosa Maria, and the thousands of Cubans calling for peaceful reforms in their country.”
“Rosa Maria’s commitment to carry on her father’s work without fear is demonstrative of her ceaseless commitment and that of many in Cuba’s peaceful dissident community to demand political reform in Cuba. Unfortunately, oppression in Cuba in the last year has escalated with more violent attacks, detentions and arrests. The murder of Oswlado Paya is symbolic of the ends to which the regime will go to threaten and obstruct the growing chorus of voices calling for change in Cuba. I both honor and admire the work being carried on by Rosa Maria in honor of her father and was very pleased to welcome her to the Capitol today and hear her father’s story,” Menendez said.
“Oswaldo Payá will forever be remembered as one of Cuba’s best known dissidents,” Nelson said. “But the causes that he championed — freedom of speech, press and enterprise — continue to elude the Cuban people. That’s why a thorough independent investigation into his death is so critical. Without it, further reform is easily undermined or avoided, altogether.”
Oswaldo Payá was the founder of the Verela Project, a petition drive that peacefully sought greater political freedom for Cubans. The Cuban Constitution guaranteed the right to a national referendum on any proposal that achieved 10,000 or more signatures from Cuban citizens eligible to vote. In May 2002, the Varela Project delivered 11,020 valid signatures to the Cuban National Assembly calling for an end to four decades of one-party rule.
As a result of these efforts, Mr. Payá and his colleagues faced sustained harassment and as many as 25 of its leaders were jailed as part of massive round up of dissidents, known as the Black Spring. Payá’s nonviolent attempt to seek political change was celebrated around the world, earning him a number of awards including the European Union’s Sakharov Prize and a Nobel Peace Prize nomination from former Czech President Václav Havel.
Since his death, Rosa Maria Payá has traveled the world in an attempt to highlight her father’s death and the need for political reforms in Cuba. In March, Ms. Payá appeared before the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, where she asked the international body to investigate her father’s death.
Senators Meet With Rosa Maria Payá, Discuss Democracy In CubaSenators Renew Call for Investigation into Death of Payá's Father, Oswaldo, A Political Reformer
Washington, D.C. – A bipartisan group of Senators met with Rosa Maria Payá, the daughter of Cuban political reformer Oswaldo Payá, in the U.S. Capitol today, to discuss democratic reforms in Cuba and to reiterate their call for an investigation into Mr. Payá’s troubling death last year in which he, and youth activist Harold Cepero, were killed in a suspicious car accident.
The meeting today was hosted by Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and was attended by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL). Last month, the four Senators sent a letter to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, urging the Commission to investigate Mr. Payá’s death. A copy of the letter is available here.
“Oswaldo Payá’s death has meant other courageous Cuban democracy leaders must continue the work of fighting for their freedom and exposing the regime’s cruelty. It is our job to support these leaders that Oswaldo inspired and laid the groundwork for, while holding the regime accountable for his death,” said Rubio. “Despite her tragic loss, Rosa Maria Payá is a courageous woman who deserves the support of the United States and entire international community in getting real answers on Oswaldo’s death through an independent investigation.”
“Oswaldo Payá’s death was a tragic blow to the peaceful and courageous democracy movement in Cuba and deserves a full and open investigation,” Durbin said. “Rosa Maria’s tireless efforts to call attention to her father’s death show that efforts to reform the political climate in Cuba will not be easily silenced. We stand with Oswaldo, Rosa Maria, and the thousands of Cubans calling for peaceful reforms in their country.”
“Rosa Maria’s commitment to carry on her father’s work without fear is demonstrative of her ceaseless commitment and that of many in Cuba’s peaceful dissident community to demand political reform in Cuba. Unfortunately, oppression in Cuba in the last year has escalated with more violent attacks, detentions and arrests.

¨Saturno jugando con sus hijos¨/ Pedro Pablo Oliva
Liborio
A la puerta de la gloria está San Pedro sentado y ve llegar a su lado a un hombre de cierta historia. No consigue hacer memoria y le pregunta con celo: ¿Quién eras allá en el suelo? Era Liborio mi nombre. Has sufrido mucho, hombre, entra, te has ganado el cielo.
