Juan Paolo
López Fiallo
I do not know my child because the Cuban
Government do not allow me to come back to
my own country
My child, Juan Paolo López Fiallo, was born on April
4, 1999 in Havana, Cuba.
“Everyone has the right to leave any country,
including his own, and to return to his country”
Article 13 (2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Adopted
and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10
December 1948.
http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html
My case, like the one of so many other Cubans, it is
very simple. I got bachelor and master degrees in
Physics in the University of Havana, in Cuba. After
lecturing Physics for 3 years for life science
students as a teaching assistance, I got a scholarship
to participate of a specialization course in the
“International Centre for Theoretical Physics” in
Trieste, Italy.
The Cuban government, contrary to the majority of the countries in
the world, controls every leave from Cuba of his citizens. That it
is why I was forced to
request an authorization to the Cuban government to be able to study
in Italy. This authorization was given
for a year. At the same time, I was NOT allowed to
make a Ph.D. in “Northeastern University” in Boston, US, but this is
another story.
Once my specialization course was over, I requested
in the Cuban consulate in Milan, Italy, an authorization to make
Ph.D. studies out of Cuba, but this was neglected by the consul
straightaway. He offered a well known Cuban alternative “Patriotism
or Death”: I had to choose between coming back, renouncing to a
already approved Ph.D. scholarship, or adding up to a social Cuban
class called “quedados”.
This class of Cubans do NOT has the right to return to Cuba before
five (5) years after the change in
category, and even when accepted, only for a
transitory visit of twenty one (21) days, and NOT
permanently.
Your are right if you guess that I chose “Death” to be
able to continue my studies. I finished last year my
Ph.D. in the Universidade Federal de São Carlos
(UFSCar) and now I am making a post-doctor in the
Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP).
Both of them are situated in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
I requested, and paid without reimbursement right,
authorization to visit Cuba on day 10/01/2002. My
first request to enter Cuba was made in July 2000. I
also tried a request between these two ones, on
September 2001, but one of the Cuban officials in
the São Paulo consulate personally advised me not
to do it because several other Cubans of the same
class (quedados) had been completed unsuccessful.
In the two cases that I formally requested, and paid,
for an entrance visa, these were rejected without
justification and orally only, nothing written.
At this point, I wonder myself why I can not see my
little boy, mother or walk in the streets of My
country. Are these what are called respect to
individual liberties and human rights? What are the
reasons that let the Cuban government to obstruct,
difficult and even completed forbid family meetings?
Would it be that persons do not have the right to
choose where and when study and work, or it is that
we “quedados” are not persons at all?
The Cuban jurist Dr. Claudio Benedí Beruff, one of
the founders of the Interamerican Human Rights Commission, presented
in june before said entity in Washington, a denouncement about my
human drama.
Thank you in advance, sincerely yours,
Ph.D. Juan López Linares
