Havana, Cuba, Apr 21, 2009 / 15:14 pm
The president of the Christian Liberation Movement, Oswaldo Paya, called on the governments of the Americas not to be accomplices with the Cuban regime by being silent on human rights abuses. Instead, he said, they should begin an open dialogue that includes the Cuba people.
“No honest man should talk about Cuba or for Cuba before demanding respect for Cubans’ rights and the release of those cruelly imprisoned in our country for peacefully defending human rights,” Paya said in a message for the recent Summit of the Americas.
