Spring Kidnappers

Spring Kidnappers
Posted on March 23, 2013

At present, despite the continued omnipresence of the political
police–which hinders the proper performance of our work, systematically
violates our rights and freedoms, and harasses us and threatens us with
many years of jail–alternative civil society is strengthened numerically
and deontologically and labors for certain potential destinations
definitely better for our country.

Those brave peaceful fighters of the 2003 Black Spring were already
released and some of them remain in the country. They were 75, but there
are many more stories of errors and horrors of the government to
discourage the opposition movement in Cuba.

However, this movement has grown from 2003 and it is an intellectual and
moral power that denounces the arbitrariness of the powerful and
proposes politically democratizing alternatives to the systemic
immobility modus operandi of the totalitarian regime.

I hope to God that there will not be a repeat of a repressive sequence
of arrests like that of 2003, which makes the necessary reconciliation
between Cubans more difficult and prevents my country from permanently
joining the world's democratic nations.
