For the freedom in Cuba

Thanks to a post in the blog of Jose Luis Orihuela I find the blog Orlando Zapata Tamayo: I accuse the Cuban government. Also I accuse the Cuban government. The recent death of Orlando Zapata has not done any more that to reveal the situation that one lives in the island. There is no freedom of expression not of movement for those who think about form different from the government castrista. They are chased and silenced. Yesterday we had an example: the defenders of the dictatorship castrista burst the pacific march of the checkers of target, which were requesting the release from prison of the political prisoners in Cuba.

The Cuban journalist Guillermo Fariñas began a hunger strike after the death of Orlando Zapata. 4 years ago also he surrendered to a hunger strike as protest for the repression and the absence of freedom in his country.

Every time there are more the voices that rise against the attitude of the Cuban government, even some that in the past they supported the diet castrista. Several Spanish intelligentsia has added to the manifesto Por the freedom of the Cuban political prisoners, asking for his immediate release from prison:

For the freedom of the Cuban political prisoners

For the immediate and unconditional release from prison of all the political prisoners in the Cuban jails; for the respect to the exercise, the promotion and the defense of the human rights in any part of the world; for the decorum and the value of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, unjustly imprisoned and brutally tortured in the prisons castristas, dead person in hunger strike denouncing these crimes and the absence of rights and democracy in his country; for the respect to the life of those who run the risk of dying like him to prevent the government of Fidel and Raúl Castro from keeping on eliminating physically his critics and pacific opponents, condemning them to sorrow of up to 28 years of jail for “crimes“ of opinion; for the respect to the physical and moral integrity of every person; we sign this letter, and exhort to sign it to all those who have chosen to defend his freedom and the freedom of others.
