Cuban Embassy In The US Refuses To Receive A Letter From Activist Rosa
María Payá
14YMEDIO, Havana | Julio 21, 2015

The activist Rosa María Payá tried to deliver a letter to the newly
inaugurated Cuban embassy in Washington on Tuesday. The daughter of the
late Oswaldo Payá, however, denounced through her Twitter account that
the officials would not open the door and sent a police car.

The letter, from her mother Ofelia Acevedo, was addressed to the Cuban
Minister of Health, Roberto Morales, to request the autopsy reports for
Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero.

"The Cuban embassy has not opened, it continues to be closed for Cubans.
I try to deliver a letter and nobody answers," she writes. "Despotism is
called diplomacy," she adds in another message.

The activist also reports that some officials were watching her through
the glass.

Rosa María Payá said that vice consul Armando Bencomo refused to receive
the letter, although he said he would "communicate with the embassy" [so
that they would open the door, but it never happened].

Monday, the activist demonstrated in front of the new Cuban embassy.
"This is only the beginning of diplomatic relations that up to now have
meant conversations between two elites, people who weren't there and who
don't represent the Cuban people because the Cuban people never elected
them," she said.
