"Raul Castro Gave Relevant Orders to Let me Die"

Guillermo Farinas, Cuban dissident on hunger and thirst strike, said last Friday, that Raúl Castro gave the order to let him die. "I received information last night that Raúl Castro had given the relevant orders to let me die."

Fariñas had been admitted to a hospital in Havana, having lost consciousness. He returned home after receiving nutrition intravenously.

The Spanish government and Carlos Perez, the head of Political Affairs of the Spanish Embassy in Cuba have asked Fariñas to stop the hunger and thirst strike.

The freelance journalist plans to send another letter to Dictator Raul Castro in which he will thank him for the, "honor of letting him die."

Radio Marti Noticias informs that Fariñas has asked dissidents to maintain unity of action and he said that he will remain on hunger strike, inspired by the example set by Orlando Zapapa Tamayo.

Cuba-Social Exclusion

Dr Darsi Ferrer, shown in this video, visits on his own and without any help from the Cuban authorities, communities that live in cardboard boxes and makeshift houses. They are known as concentration camps. They live in deplorable conditions, without clean water, because it is not treated for human consumption. This causes them to contract serious infections, with no end site. Clean water is the most important thing we humans need to survive.

Since this video Dr. Darsi has been arrested for his outspoken criticism of the state of medicine in his country and the treatment of people in communities like this one that live beyond the margin of society.

Latin America and European Leaders Show Support for Cuban Dissidents, on Hunger Strike Since Feb. 17

Viedos from Cubademocratic Directorio Democratico Cubano (Cuban Democratic Directorate). A group of European and Latin American leaders express their support for the hunger strike by the Cuban human rights activists.

Iris Tamara Pérez Aguilera, Jorge Luis García Pérez Antúnez y Diosiris Santana Pérez have all been on hunger strike since February 17, 2009. I think it's important to report that all of the strikes are Afro-Cubans. The racist Castro Regime is showing what truly racist bastards they are. Once again the communists show the world their true colors.

The reason for the hunger strike are as follows:

(1) The cessation of the torture and repression against the opposition in jail Mario Alberto Pérez Aguilera (a black man) and other Cuban political prisoners.

(2) The claim for the speedy and just resolution to the cases of thousands of Cubans to live without a home, returning to the campaign for a dignified and decent housing for every Cuban.

(3) The cessation of repression against peaceful human rights defenders, with the requirement to the Castro government to ratify and publish international human rights covenants and hence the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of which Cuba is a signatory.
