¡Ya no mas!
August 05, 2005¡Ya no mas!
George Moneo is trying to start a Anti Castrista blog campain called ¡Ya no mas!, which means “No more already!”.
It was inspired by the attack by Castristra “Patriots” against 12 peaceful demonstrators in Santa Clara the other day:
Santa Clara, Cuba. August 2, 2005
Sylvia Benamur, a diplomat with the EU’s Human Rights Commission, who traveled today (August 2, 2005) to Santa Clara province to meet with Guillermo Sardiña Fariña, the province representative of the Assembly to Promote Civil Society in Cuba, was violently attacked, together with her host and twelve others that were accompanying her.
While walking on Aleman Street between Hospital and Misionero, Ms. Benamur, Mr. Fariña and the other dissidents, were attacked by government agents in plain clothes, with sticks and clubs in their hands, and organized anti-dissent mobs. Ms. Benamur and the the twelve remaining dissidents managed to escape the melee, thankfully since the pro-government forces were estimated by some eyewitnesses to be a crowd of 400.
The people in the town, upon seeing what was happening to the group, came to the aid of the twelve and the EU Representative, some going so far as to offer their homes as sanctuary from the government goons and mob. The crowd aided her and the others through back streets through which they were able to make their escape to safety.
If you wan’t to find out about what is really happening in Cuba, I can recommend following CubaNet, who have a network of very brave and often imprisoned journalists in Cuba.
Also any Che tee wearing teenager should be made to read the Real Cuba site. Amazing work done documenting the damage done by Hurricane Fidel. He has done a great job documenting the lies spread about pre Castro Cuba. Check out this one about Free Healthcare in Cuba.
