Urgent SOS
from Havana to the International Press and International Community.
Christian Liberation Movement in the Exterior
According to information provided by Leader and National Coordinator of
the Christian Liberation Movement and Sakjarov Prize winner Oswaldo J.
Paya Sardiñas, in the last few hours the Cuban government has launched a
full scale offensive against members of their Movement. State Security
agents gave ultimatums in Cuba to leaders of the Christian Liberation
Movement with the acronym (MCL), telling them to stop all activities
promoting the Varela Project as well as activities promoting the
Liberation of the Political Prisoners of the Cuban Spring; or they will
face strong retaliation from the government.
These threats take place in the midst of a brutal repression and
intimidation atmosphere against leaders of the MCL, when yesterday,
March 9th, Ernesto Martini, better known as (Freddy), leader of the MCL
in Havana was arrested and interrogated for more than eight and later
freed after being warned that if he did not abstain from his present
activities, the Cuban Government will apply its repressive machinery in
full force against anyone who continued with activities the State
considers to be "subversive activities." On the same note, MCL Leader
Oswaldo J. Paya Sardiñas has been a subject of intimidation, his working
areas has been restricted after an oxygen valve he was fixing at work
accidentally exploded resulting in serious injuries to Paya's right hand
that required medical attention.
We alert the international community of this full force offensive to
annihilate the Christian Liberation Movement and its leaders, for its
scope and intensity is taking the shape of another crackdown, this time
much more astute than the crackdown of the Spring of 2003, and we want
to state for the record, that we are firm in our purpose. No threat or
intimidation will stop us from continue in our demand claiming the
rights that the Cuban people presented to the National Assembly of the
Popular Power on May 10 of 2002, known as The Varela Project, which the
Cuban Government has not complied with in violation of its current
Constitutional Law.
