VIDEO/ testimony in Spanish given by the widow of a Cuban human rights defender and a prisoner of conscience who died while on a hunger strike and under custody of the Cuban State. In this video, recorded by Jorge Cervantes, a member of the human rights group UMPACU ( Union Patriotica de Cuba) in the Eastern City of Contramaestre, Martiza Pelegrino states that Cuban authorities are directly responsible for the death of her husband, Wilman Villar Mendoza and that she will continue to come forward regarding the truth about her husband. The Cuban regime has launched a media campaign to discredit the image of Wilman Villar reporting that he was imprisoned for common crimes and that he was not a human rights activist nor that he was on a hunger strike.
