Jeovany J. Vega, Translator: Unstated
This afternoon at 1:30 PM, I delivered at the headquarters of the
Ministry of Public Health Minister a document addressed to Dr. Roberto
Morales Ojeda, by which I declare a HUNGER STRIKE, which I will maintain
until my death if the following conditions are not met:
A. – The repeal of Ministerial Resolutions 248 and 249 of 27 September
2006, that disqualified for the practice of medicine in Cuba for an
indefinite period and this writer and my colleague Dr. Rodolfo Martinez
Vigoa.
2. – The repeal of Resolution 14-06 of April 25, 2006, which arbitrarily
suspended my Residency in Internal Medicine when I was in my final year.
3. – That Dr. Alfredo Felipe Valdes, Cuban citizen in exile in Malaga,
Spain, will be given his college degree duly approved by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Cuba, as agreed between the governments of Cuba and
Spain in late 2010 on Spain's welcoming of political refugees from [the
Black Spring of] 2003, a commitment unmet to date.
I declare a hunger strike in full possession of my mental faculties, in
good health and without any associated organic condition that might
cause my death for the next three or four months, so the responsibility
rests with the Ministry of Public Health, the Communist Party of Cuba
and the Cuban government for my death and for all consequences arising
from this action that I take after exhausting all resources that I as an
ordinary citizen had at my disposal. This is a decision I assume
exercising individual sovereignty which I have over my own life as an
adult and aware of the step I am taking, so no third person can be
accused of instigating me to undertake this conduct.
The hunger strike will realize physically in Marti Park of the Artemisa
municipality of Guanajay, in front of the Community Polyclinic, which
was my last workplace. I will only retire from that place if I am
arrested by the police or the bodies of the State Security.
