But when women step in and help, when the naturally shy and quiet woman stands up and applauds, when the cultured and virtuous woman annoints the task with the sweetness of her affection, the campaign becomes invincible."

surrounded as well), in particular, the headquarters of the Ladies in White in
Havana, located at: Calle E, #51 e/ Cumbre y Porvenir, Reparto Lawton,

Leiva are presently swollen since both of his arms were forced behind his back
by one officer while another one beat him repeatedly with his fists. All of
this occurred inside a patrol car that was taking the blind activist and his
wife, who was also brutally beaten, to the First Police Unit in Ciego de Avila.
The military personnel had to get a doctor with urgency to attend Gonzalez Leiva
after he was dragged out of the patrol car and choked from behind to such a
point that he lost consciousness and past out. After this violent episode, the
activist is having trouble swallowing. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

a la altura de la rodilla y el dedo índice de su mano izquierda. En el hombro
derecho y el pie izquierdo tiene también dos golpes grandes. Además le
aguantaron las manos a la espalda al tiempo que otro militar lo golpeaba
repetidas veces con los puños en la parte izquierda de la cara y la cabeza,
razón por la cual tiene inflamada esa parte de la cara y el cuello. Todo esto
ocurrió dentro del auto patrullero que condujo al abogado ciego, junto a su
esposa, también golpeada bárbaramente, hasta la 1ra Unidad de la policía local.
Al sacarlo del auto, el mismo policía que golpeó a González, le aplicó una
llave de estrangulación y lo arrastró así hasta los calabozos, pero le apretó
tanto en cuello, que lo llevó casi a la asfixia y el activista perdió el
conocimiento, razón por la cual los militares se vieron obligados a buscar un
médico de urgencia. González casi no puede tragar por el dolor y la inflamación

José Daniel Ferrer García fue condenado a 25 años de prisión en relación con su participación en el Proyecto Varela, cuya finalidad era pedir un referéndum nacional sobre reformas democráticas.

Su objetivo es lograr cambios democráticos en Cuba por medios no violentos. Desde su creación a mediados de 2011, sus miembros han sufrido un acoso y una intimidación constantes, incluidas detenciones arbitrarias, por parte de las autoridades cubanas. Uno de sus miembros, el preso de conciencia Wilman Villar Mendoza, murió en enero de 2012 tras una huelga de hambre emprendida en protesta por su condena de cuatro años de prisión, impuesta tras un juicio sumario. Esta represión forma parte de una represión general contra la disidencia en las provincias orientales de Cuba que ha ido en aumento desde mediados de 2011 y se intensificó justo antes de la visita del Papa a Cuba a finales de marzo de 2012.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <br /></span><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">El 2 de abril, un centenar de policías y agentes del Departamento de Seguridad del Estado llegaron a casa de José Daniel Ferrer García en Palmarito de Cauto, provincia de Santiago de Cuba.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span class="noticiabyline"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Havana, Cuba, Apr 4, 2012 / 04:09 pm (<a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/" target="_self">CNA</a>)</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">.- Cuban doctor and former political prisoner Oscar Elias Biscet noted that while Pope Benedict's recent visit to the country was a success, religious freedom among the island's people remains stifled</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">In an interview with Peruvian newspaper El Comercio, Biscet said the Pope's March 25-28 trip to Cuba was immensely beneficial “from a spiritual and religious point of view.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">But he argued that the Communist regime in Cuba manipulates circumstances in their favor and will most likely “ensure this visit benefited them more than those who are suffering.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Biscet, who was imprisoned for more than a decade over his opposition to abortion, said that although government has shown a slight amount of “permissiveness” in recent years for Catholics who wish to practice their faith, “you still have to be careful about what you say in church.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Ultimately, “there is no religious freedom because it is forbidden to preach in public,” he said. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Biscet recalled Blessed John Paul II's visit to the country in 1998, saying that the “government took advantage of it and did not follow through on its word to the Pope.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">“During these fourteen years, the world has opened up to the Cuban government, but this government has not opened up to the world or to its people.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The Cuban doctor also criticized the Raul Castro government for misinforming the people by claiming there are similarities between Marxism and Christianity, when they are both “polar opposites.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Communism, he said, “is hatred for religion, for God and for God’s creation. The foundation of Communism is atheism.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">“They claim to be defending the poor and that is totally false,” Biscet continued. “One of the pillars of Communism is taking away the freedom of citizens.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">“If you take human rights and basic freedoms away from citizens, you transgress God, because God is freedom,” he said. “God is total justice, he is love in all it magnitude. Christianity and Communism have nothing in common.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Biscet was arrested in 1999 for denouncing abortions in Cuba. The practice is legal there in cases of fetal deformation, rape or life of the mother, “but they violate this law and abortion is seen as a contraceptive,” he said.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">“I conducted a study on one type of abortion that is performed after the 16th week and in 9 percent of the cases, the babies were born alive and they were killed. I recorded the testimonies of the mothers, I brought them to the government and Fidel Castro became furious. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">One month later he ordered I be put in prison and even claimed I was mentally ill,” Biscet recalled. In 2011 he was finally freed due to the mediation of local Church leaders.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Biscet said that although political change in Cuba is very difficult, advancement for the country is still possible after decades of Communist rule. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">“For 53 years fear has been instilled in the people and they have not expressed themselves, but when there is a double mindset: one real and one based on fear, it’s only one more step to freedom and to acquire one’s true personality, because when you know the truth, the truth will set you free. When you know the truth, you change,” Biscet said.</span><br />Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11684000500462531367noreply@blogger.com0
