Rosa María Payá says: “There’s a better way for Biden to support democracy in Cuba, beyond the Obama and Trump approaches.” Unfortunately the Biden administration most probably will continuous with the same approach of Obama administration with respect to the Castroit regime, which has maintained its hostility to the United States for more than 60 years.
Rosa María Payá knows very well by her own experience, how important is not to negotiate with the Castroit tyrannical regime, and instead put pressure on it by carrying out sanctions from democratic governmentsOAS Almagro backs Cuban activists on hunger strike — MercoPress

We do not forget, we do not betray our principles and values, we are consistent, without fanfare, with serene courage, with generosity, without hatred but without fear: Long live the Varela Project !!! - Regis Iglesias Ramirez, May 10, 2021 over Twitter
Oswaldo Payá, Antonio Diaz, and Regis Iglesias turn in petitions to National Assembly on 5/10/02
Milan Kundera, the Czech writer, in his 1999 novel The Book of Laughter and Forgetting observed that "the struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting." Memory provides context to unfolding events today, and helps to render informed judgements.
For example, nineteen years ago on May 10, 2002, carrying 11,020 signed petitions in support of the Varela Project, the Christian Liberation Movement's Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, Antonio Diaz Sanchez, and Regis Iglesias Ramirez walked to the Cuban National Assembly with bulky cardboard boxes labeled Project Varela. The Christian Liberation Movement was founded by Catholic lay people in Havana in September 1988, and is part of a non-violent dissident movement that traces its origins and influences to the Cuban Committee for Human Rights that was founded in 1976. Today Regis Iglesias commemorated the anniversary in a Tweet (the content is translated in the quote at the top of the blog entry.)
The Varela Project, named after the Cuban Catholic Priest Felix Varela, sought to reform the Cuban legal system to bring it in line with international human rights standards. They had followed the letter of the law in organizing the campaign.

I recently asked myself why the United States has never overthrown the Cuban dictatorship.
Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero were one of the most important human rights activists a few years ago in Cuba in recent years. Payá was the founder of the Varela Project and the Christian Liberation Movement of which Cepero was the youth leader of it. The Varela project is named after Father Felix Varela, a leading educator, philosopher and patriot of the 19th century.Oswaldo Paya & Harold Cepero: Remembering two brave Cubans on the 9th anniversary of their assassination – Babalú Blog (babalublog.com)

Nine years ago today human rights and democracy activists Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero were assassinated by State Security agents of the communist Castro dictatorship. In communist Cuba, such advocacy is a crime and anyone who speaks out for the rights of Cubans is considered to be directly challenging the authority and legitimacy of the Castro regime. As in the case of Oswaldo and Harold and countless others, the penalty for this crime is oftentimes death.
On July 22, 2012, the names of these two courageous and peaceful human rights activists were added to a constantly growing list of Cuban martyrs that spans six decades. Nevertheless, we continue to celebrate and honor the fight for freedom in Cuba and the sacrifice made by these brave men. We will never forget the courage and bravery of Oswaldo and Harold and neither will we ever forget the cowards who murdered these innocent men.
Let us all take a moment and honor the memory of Oswaldo and Harold on yet another anniversary of their ultimate sacrifice for fellow Cubans and the ongoing struggle for freedom and liberty on the island.
Sooner or later, justice will be served.

Rosa María Payá has personally suffered at the hands of Cuba’s tyrants. Now she fights against their cruelty toward all Cubans.
On July 22, 2012, in the neighborhood of El Cerro in Havana, Cuba, Rosa María Payá said goodbye to her father as she would have on any other day, with a kiss on the cheek. But that day would not be like every other day.
After lunch, she received a series of muddled texts: An accident. Militia everywhere. Three people taken to the hospital. “Help!”
She called her father’s phone. Over and over again. No answer.
Finally, around 4 p.m., someone picked up. Immediately, Rosa María called out: “Papá, papá, papá.” A female voice responded, stumbled, claimed to be a doctor. Finally, the voice said: “There has been a fatality.”
That was the moment when Rosa María Payá understood her father had been murdered by the Castro regime.

U.S. Senators from both parties approved the naming of the Washington street in front of the Cuban Embassy in honor of the late Cuban opposition leader Oswaldo Payá . Great, now the address of the Castroit Tyrannical regime Embassy in Washington is “Oswaldo Paya Way.” A great way to be remembered.
“Cuba for Latin Americans means what the Berlin Wall was for Europe. Cuba is our Berlin wall ”. Great line by Rosa Maria Payá and delivered at the right place, the European Parliament.
Rosa María Payá is right, “The real problem in Cuba is the dictatorship.” To the massive protest announced for November 15 against the Castroit communist regime, the response of the regime is constants threats and intimidation of activists, opponents and independent journalists to not participate the Civic March for Change, convened by the Archipiélago platform. This is simple state terrorism.
Rosa María Payá is one of the best-known opponents to Castroit regime. Daughter of Oswaldo Payá, founder of the Christian Liberation Movement, who was killed in 2012 in a stage traffic accident. Oswaldo Payá was murdered by the Castroit regime because he dared to believe his country could be free from the grip of communism. Today his daughter wages her own battle to finally bring democracy to Cuba.
RFH holds the Castroit regime responsible for the death of Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero. The “accidental” death of Oswaldo and Cepero, is a classic case of state murder. This is a criminal state where its security apparatus is running wild. On 2002 the European Parliament awarder Payá the Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought, by and 2011 was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his peaceful efforts to guarantee fundamental human rights for all Cuban citizens. Payá and Cepero paid the ultimate price for their nonviolent struggle for a free Cuba.
According to EFE and El Mundo, Carromero also said that he is convinced that Payá and another dissident leader who accompanied him survived the accident. “The nurses and a priest,” he was quoted as saying, “assured me that all four of us were admitted at the hospital.”
The short documentary, not only describe the evidence collected by the Human Rights Foundation that the car was intentionally hit from behind by a state security car causing a crash, but this did not cause the death of any of the passengers. But after a few hours later Payá and Cepero were dead. It also denounce the cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of the regime political opponents.March 2, 2022 by Americano

The Cuban authorities said that the car was going at high speed and left the road and collided with a tree, but Payá’s family affirmed from the first moment that it was not an accident but an “attack”.
“The truth is that they were assassinated by state security agents on orders that could only be dictated by Fidel or Raúl Castro,” said Payá’s daughter today, who is at the head of the Cuba Decide movement, which promotes that Cubans can decide what kind of political system they want.
