Familia de Payá y MCL desautorizan declaraciones de Elizardo Sánchez
Junto a Paya saluda a Carter/ lagartoverde.com |
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 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.

Obama Administration Joins Calls for Paya Probe
Obama administration joins congressional call for probe into deaths of Cuban activists
The Obama administration supports the growing calls for an international probe into the deaths of two Cuban democracy activists last year, the State Department said Thursday.
The declaration follows growing pressure from Congress for an investigation into the death of Oswaldo Payá, who was killed along with fellow activist Harold Cepero in a July 22 car wreck. The driver, Spaniard Ángel Carromero, was charged with vehicular manslaughter before being released to Spain; he has since declared that he was forced off the road by a car with government license plates.
“The United States supports the calls for an international investigation with independent international observers into the circumstances leading to the deaths of Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero in Cuba,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Thursday. “The people of Cuba and the families of these two activists deserve a clear, credible accounting of the events that resulted in their tragic deaths. The United States will continue to advocate for the rights of all Cubans to speak out of defense of human rights and democracy.”
Eight senators from both sides of the aisle sent a letter to the Organization of American States last week urging such a probe.
“Oswaldo Payá was a brave man trying to peacefully advocate for greater political freedom for his fellow Cuban brothers and sisters,” the senators wrote in a letter to Emilio Álvarez Icaza, the executive secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. “It increasingly looks like he paid for that effort with his life. His memory and his family deserve an honest and independent accounting of what happened.
“We urge you for your consideration and stand ready to work with you on this important matter.”
Separately, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) wrote to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urging an investigation two weeks ago after meeting with activist Yoani Sánchez on Capitol Hill.

Canciller español recibe a hija de Payá y "no interferirá" en las investigaciones
Rosa María Payá, hija del difunto opositor cubano, ha confirmado en declaraciones a Europa Press este encuentro con el ministro, al que ha visto "receptivo" en relación a todos los temas tratados.
Ambas partes han coincidido en la necesidad de que se respeten los Derechos Humanos y las libertades fundamentales en la isla.
Oswaldo Payá y el también disidente Harold Cepero fallecieron en julio de 2012, después de que el coche en el que viajaban, conducido por el dirigente de Nuevas Generaciones (NNGG) del PP Ángel Carromero, se saliese de la carretera en la zona sureste de Cuba.
La familia del antiguo líder del Movimiento de Cristiano de Liberación (MCL) cubano ha reiterado ante Margallo que tienen pruebas de que "no fue un accidente", tal como ha denunciado el propio Carromero en sus primeras declaraciones tras su traslado a España, realizadas a 'The Washington Post'.
El ministro de Exteriores ha manifestado en las últimas semanas que no tiene constancia de que los hechos ocurriesen de forma distinta a lo reconocido por Carromero durante el proceso judicial en Cuba y ha instado a quienes duden de dicha versión a acudir a los tribunales.
Sin embargo, ante la familia de Payá, Margallo ha garantizado que el Gobierno "no interferirá" en las iniciativas que se adopten para esclarecer lo ocurrido. En este sentido, se ha comprometido a no favorecer ni bloquear las investigaciones internacionales y a tampoco inmiscuirse en caso de que el entorno de Oswaldo Payá denuncie los hechos ante la Justicia española.
Rosa María Payá se ha dado por "satisfecha" con este compromiso del ministro. "Vamos a continuar luchando por el reconocimiento de la verdad", ha advertido, sin descartar por el momento ninguna vía para esclarecer lo que, a ojos de la familia, es un "posible asesinato".
La hija de Oswaldo Payá ha insistido que Carromero "es una víctima más" de este supuesto complot y así se lo ha trasladado al jefe de la diplomacia española. "Le hemos dicho lo que pensamos", ha apuntado, sin entrar a aclarar cuál fue la respuesta del ministro.
Por otro lado, la presidenta del Partido Popular de Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, ha criticado este jueves al gobierno de Cuba calificándolo como "la dictadura comunista más siniestra, duradera, arcaica y anacrónica de todo Occidente".
"Ninguna persona de buena voluntad puede estar satisfecha mientras la dictadura castrista siga oprimiendo a los cubanos", ha afirmado la expresidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid durante la presentación del libro 'Cuba: camino de libertad' (editorial Hispano Cubana), de Guillermo Cortázar, celebrada en la Casa de América de la capital.
Aguirre ha participado como presentadora en un acto en el que también han intervenido el escritor cubano, Raúl Rivero, y la portavoz de las Damas de Blanco, Berta Soler, además del propio autor del libro.
Durante la presentación, la líder del PP madrileño ha tenido palabras de agradecimiento a los opositores del régimen cubano "por ese coraje y entereza por la que luchan por la libertad de su patria", ha subrayado, "que es lo mismo que decir que luchan por la libertad de todos".

Who Will Stand Up for Oswaldo Payá?
cubanexilequarter |
Two weeks ago a brave young leader of Spain’s ruling Popular Party stepped forward to offer a sensational, firsthand account of how one of Cuba’s leading dissidents, Oswaldo Payá, was killed last summer. Ángel Carromero said a car that he was driving in which Payá was a passenger was rammed from behind by a vehicle bearing official Cuban license plates. He said he was then jailed in inhuman conditions, drugged and threatened by Cuban authorities with death if he did not tell a false story about what happened.
Naturally, Spanish journalists quickly approached Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margello, Mr. Carromero’s comrade in the Popular Party, to ask for his reaction. One might have expected an expression of shock at the revelation that the Castro regime might have deliberately killed one of the world’s best-known advocates of peaceful democratic change, a winner of the European Union’s Sakharov Prize, and then abused and framed a prominent Spanish citizen.
Nope: Garcia-Margello didn’t hesitate to throw the leader of his party’s youth wing under a bus. The foreign ministry, he primly told the reporters, “didn’t have evidence” of Carromero’s account. “The only evidence” it had, he added, was an agreement between the Cuban government and Spain allowing the repatriation of Carromero, which “recognized... the legitimacy of the verdict” of a Cuban court that found him guilty of negligent homicide.
In other words, the Spanish foreign minister was saying he thought the Cuban state security service was more credible than a 27-year-old leader of his own party who spoke out, at the risk of his career and his conditional release from prison, because, as he put it in an interview with The Post, “I could not live, being complicit through my silence.”
It’s worth considering why the Spanish government, like the Obama administration and Latin America’s democracies, ignored Carromero’s allegations. If legendary dissident Andrei Sakharov himself had died in a suspicious car accident in the Soviet Union, and a credible Western witness had then offered testimony like Carromero’s, it’s hard to imagine that Ronald Reagan and former Spanish prime minister Felipe Gonzalez would have remained silent.
But first let’s examine the supposed lack of evidence. Carromero, Payá, Cuban Harold Cepero and Swedish politician Jens Aron Modig were driving down a rural road in eastern Cuba last July 22 when the crash occurred. The two Cubans riding in the back seat died, while Carromero and Modig in the front survived.
Carromero says the car was followed from the moment it left Havana; as anyone familiar with Cuba and its secret police knows, that is routine for dissidents such as Payá. Here’s a question for the Spanish foreign ministry: Is it credible that a vehicle bearing dissidents and two Western politicians would not be followed on a road trip? Right. So where are the occupants of the two cars, one with official plates, described by Carromero?
The Cuban version says Carromero’s car struck a tree. But the photo authorities released shows a sedan clearly smashed from behind. Unless the Spaniard somehow accelerated backward into the tree, the picture belies the official story. Then there are the texts: Payá’s family say they have SMS messages that Carromero and Modig sent to friends in Europe soon after the crash, saying they had been hit from behind and run off the road. And there is Modig himself: The young Swede, who was also detained for a time in Cuba, told Swedish radio last week that he did send the reported texts, and that while he did not remember the accident, “I don’t have any doubts about what is now revealed.”
Finally there is this: The crash marked the second time Payá had been in an accident in two months. In Havana, a car he was driving was also struck by a suspicious vehicle, injuring him slightly. His family says he regularly received telephone calls with death threats.
Perhaps the Spanish foreign minister disrespects Carromero enough to conclude that he is lying in spite of all the indications that he is not. Or perhaps he feels compelled to bow to political considerations: the Spanish government’s cultivation of the Castro regime, its gratitude for the release to Spain of several score Cuban political prisoners, its hopes that four Spaniards in Cuban custody will, like Carromero, be freed. Other Western governments desperately want to believe that Raul Castro is a reformer who is slowly liberalizing Cuba.
All these calculations assume that the possibility that the regime deliberately targeted and killed Payá is ultimately unworthy of international attention; that impunity for such a crime is a regrettable necessity; or that the case says nothing about the Castros’ real intentions. Were they alive, Andrei Sakharov and Oswaldo Payá would surely disagree.

WP: Obama Should Push for Paya Probe
Obama administration should urge a probe of Oswaldo Payá death
NELSON MANDELA was locked up on Robben Island. Andrei Sakharov was exiled to Gorky. Vaclav Havel was thrown into a Prague jail cell. Aung San Suu Kyi was repeatedly placed under house arrest. All of these courageous, dissident voices were muffled at some time by authoritarian regimes, but in the end, they found their way back to freedom. Oswaldo Payá of Cuba never got that chance.
Mr. Payá, who pioneered the Varela Project, a petition drive in 2002 seeking the guarantee of political freedom in Cuba, was killed in a car wreck July 22, along with a youth activist, Harold Cepero. The driver of the vehicle, Ángel Carromero, a Spaniard, was convicted and imprisoned on charges of vehicular homicide; in December, he was released to Spain. He told us in an interview published on the opposite page last week that the car carrying Mr. Payá was rammed from behind by a vehicle with government license plates. His recollections suggest that Mr. Payá died not from reckless driving but from a purposeful attempt to silence him — forever.
On Wednesday, his daughter, Rosa Maria Payá, appeared before the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. Speaking for the group U. N. Watch, Ms. Payá presented an appeal signed by 46 activists and political leaders from around the world, urging the United Nations to launch an international and independent investigation into Mr. Payá’s death. The signatories declared, “Mounting and credible allegations that the Cuban government may have been complicit in the murder of its most prominent critic, a leading figure in the human rights world, cannot go ignored by the international community.”
The Varela Project was summarily and arbitrarily crushed by Fidel Castro. Ms. Payá told the council that Cuban authorities imprisoned the majority of its leaders. She said that Yosvani Melcho Rodriguez, 30, has spent three years in prison as punishment for his mother being a member of the movement with Mr. Payá.
Ms. Payá was interrupted in Geneva by the Cuban representative, who accused her of being a “mercenary who has dared to come to this room.” His attempt to silence her drew support from China, Russia, Pakistan, Nicaragua and Belarus. The U.S. representative spoke up for her right to address the group. She was then allowed to finish.
After Mr. Payá’s death, the White House paid tribute to him, saying, “We continue to be inspired by Payá’s vision and dedication to a better future for Cuba, and believe that his example and moral leadership will endure.” When pro-democracy activists were arrested and beaten at his funeral, the White House again spoke up. But in the past week, since Mr. Carromero’s interview was published, the administration has not uttered a word. What if it had been Sakharov, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mandela or Havel who was run off the road? Would it have said nothing? At this critical juncture, with new information at hand, the United States ought not to be complicit in silence about who killed Oswaldo Payá.

Dignitaries Seek U.N. Probe of Paya's Death
UN must probe death of Cuban dissident Paya: petition
The United Nations should investigate the death of Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya, his daughter said Tuesday, handing over a petition to the world body and claiming her father had been murdered by the Cuban regime.
"They say that my father died in a car accident, but we have confirmed ... that they were actually crashed into and run off the road by another vehicle," Rosa Maria Paya told reporters in Geneva.
She was in the Swiss city to address the UN Human Rights Council Tuesday and to hand over an open letter and petition addressed to UN chief Ban Ki-moon and his human rights chief Navi Pillay demanding "an international and independent investigation" into Paya's death.
"Mounting and credible allegations that the Cuban government may have been complicit in the murder of its most prominent critic... cannot go ignored by the international community," read the petition, signed by 46 politicians, members of parliament and human rights activists from around the world.
Among the signatories are the former Presidents of El Salvador Armando Calderon Sol, of Uruguay Luis Alberto Lacalle and of Peru Alejandro Toledo.

"Hablame"
"EN TIEMPOS DIFÍCILES" - Heberto Padilla
A aquel hombre le pidieron su tiempo
para que lo juntara al tiempo de la Historia.
Le pidieron las manos,
porque para una época difícil
nada hay mejor que un par de buenas manos.
Le pidieron los ojos
que alguna vez tuvieron lágrimas
para que contemplara el lado claro
(especialmente el lado claro de la vida)
porque para el horror basta un ojo de asombro.
Le pidieron sus labios
resecos y cuarteados para afirmar,
para erigir, con cada afirmación, un sueño
(el-alto-sueño);
le pidieron las piernas
duras y nudosas
(sus viejas piernas andariegas),
porque en tiempos difíciles
¿algo hay mejor que un par de piernas
para la construcción o la trinchera?
Le pidieron el bosque que lo nutrió de niño,
con su árbol obediente.
Le pidieron el pecho, el corazón, los hombros.
Le dijeron
que eso era estrictamente necesario.
Le explicaron después
que toda esta donación resultaria inútil.
sin entregar la lengua,
porque en tiempos difíciles
nada es tan útil para atajar el odio o la mentira.
Y finalmente le rogaron
que, por favor, echase a andar,
porque en tiempos difíciles
esta es, sin duda, la prueba decisiva.

Carta desde la carcel de Fidel Castro Ruz
“…después de todo, para mí la cárcel es un buen descanso, que sólo tiene de malo el que es obligatorio. Leo mucho y estudio mucho. Parece increíble, las horas pasan como si fuesen minutos y yo, que soy de temperamento intranquilo, me paso el día leyendo, apenas sin moverme para nada. La correspondencia llega normalmente…”
“…En cuanto a fumar, en estos días pasados he estado rico: una caja de tabacos H. Upman del doctor Miró Cardona, dos cajas muy buenas de mi hermano Ramón….”.
“Me voy a cenar: spaghettis con calamares, bombones italianos de postre, café acabadito de colar y después un H. Upman #4. ¿No me envidias?”.
“…Me cuidan, me cuidan un poquito entre todos. No le hacen caso a uno, siempre estoy peleando para que no me manden nada. Cuando cojo el sol por la mañana en shorts y siento el aire de mar, me parece que estoy en una playa… ¡Me van a hacer creer que estoy de vacaciones! ¿Qué diría Carlos Marx de semejantes revolucionarios?”.

CUBA LLORA Y EL MUNDO Y NOSOTROS NO ESCUCHAMOS
Donde estan los Green, los Socialdemocratas, los Ricos y los Pobres, los Con Voz y Sin Voz? Cuba llora y nadie escucha.
Donde estan el Jet Set, los Reyes y Principes, Patricios y Plebeyos? Cuba desesperada clama por solidaridad.
Donde Bob Dylan, donde Martin Luther King, donde Hollywood y sus estrellas? Donde la Middle Class democrata y conservadora, o acaso tambien liberal a ratos? Y Gandhi? Y el Dios de Todos?
Donde los Santos y Virgenes; los Dioses de Cristianos, Protestantes, Musulmanes, Budistas, Testigos de Jehova y Adventistas del Septimo Dia. Donde estan Ochun y todas las deidades del Panteon Yoruba que no acuden a nuestro llanto? Donde Juan Pablo II que no exige mas que Cuba se abra al Mundo y que el Mundo se abra a Cuba?
Que hacen ahora mismo Alberto de Monaco y el Principe Felipe que no los escuchamos? Donde Madonna, donde Angelina Jolie y sus adoptados around de world; o nos hara falta un Brando erguido en un Oscar por Cuba? Donde Sean Penn?
Donde esta la Aristocracia Obrera y los Obreros menos Aristocraticos, donde los Working Class que no estan junto a un pueblo que lanquidece, sufre y llora por la ignominia?
Que hacen ahora mismo Zapatero y Rajoy que no los escuchamos, y Harper y Dion, e Hillary y Obama; donde McCain que no los escuchamos? Y los muertos? Y los que estan muriendo? Y los que van a morir? Y los que se lanzan desesperados al mar?
Donde estan el minero cantabrico o el pescador de percebes gijonese? Los Canarios donde estan? A los africanos no los oimos, y a los australianos con su acento de hombres duros tampoco. Y aquellos chinos milenarios de Canton que fundaron raices eternas en la Isla? Y que de la Queen Elizabeth y los Lords y Gentlemen? Que hace ahora mismo el combativo Principe Harry que no lo escuchamos?
Donde los Rockefellers? Donde los Duponts? Donde Kate Moss? Donde el Presidente de la ONU? Y Solana donde esta? Y los Generales y Doctores? Y los Lam y los Fabelo, y los Sivio y los Fito Paez?
Y que de Canseco y Miñoso? Y de los veteranos de Bahia de Cochinos y de los balseros y de los recien llegados? Y Carlos Otero y Susana Perez? Y el Bola, y Pancho Cespedes? Y YO y TU?
Y todos nosotros que estamos aqui y alla rumiando frustaciones y resquemores, envidias y sinsabores; autoelogios y nostalgias, en tanto Louis Michel comulga con Perez Roque mientras Biscet y una NACION lanquidecen?
Donde Maceo, donde Marti; donde aquel Villena con su carga para matar bribones?
Cuba llora y clama y el Mundo NO ESCUCHA!!!
