Message of the Cuban Regime to the Resistance

(Partial List below of human rights defenders taken to prison cells and under house arrest) MIAMI, March 27, 2012. Assembly of the Cuban Resistance. The Information and Support Center denounces that communications with the island have been mostly cut and almost impossible to establish throughout this 27th of March. Members of the resistance’s cell phones have been disconnected, and upon dialing the number, an operator informs the caller that the number does not exist.

The Assembly of the Cuban Resistance calls attention to the extremely dangerous situation to his physical integrity faced by the Cuban citizen –whose identity remains unknown- who during the Pope’s Mass celebrated yesterday in Santiago de Cuba cried out that the Cuban people were not free, down with communism and that there was no freedom in Cuba, and was repeatedly beaten and violently removed from the site by state security agents, led by one that wore a pullover with the Red Cross emblem, as per visual images captured in video by the international news media. The Assembly of the Cuban Resistance has been able to establish contact with some of the members of the Resistance and the Ladies in White, all of whom have manifested that they will go to the Mass in Havana, in spite of the difficulties they may encounter. “The Ladies in White are very discouraged with the repressive wave unleashed by the regime throughout the island. We are aware that there are opposition members detained; we know that there are many Ladies in White detained and that individuals such as beggars and mentally handicapped have been incarcerated in order to remove them from the streets (…) as a Lady in White we are here to see how many of us can participate in Havana’s Mass”, stated from Cuba’s capital one of the group’s members and founders, Alejandrina García.

At the same time, former political prisoner Iván Hernández Carrillo alerted about text messages he received through which state security agents and the regime’s political police threaten members of the resistance with their disappearance once the Pope’s visit comes to an end. Ciro Díaz, member of the “Porno para Ricardo” a musical punk group, sent a tweet denouncing the detention of several of its members. He stated that Williams, bass player, has disappeared. “He left at 9 in the morning from his house to the clinic and has not returned as yet, with more than ample time to have been able to do so. This occurs in addition to this morning’s disappearance of Ismael de Diego and Danilo’s disappearance yesterday”, he added. The Assembly of the Cuban Resistance raises its voice before the international community to denounce the violent climate of repression unleashed by the Castro brothers’ dictatorship which evidences, one more time, the regime’s totalitarian nature. As of this moment, March 27, 2012 at 2:30 PM, we have been able to confirm that the following members of the Resistance have been detained:
