Forced exile to a free country is better than rotting in Castro's gulag, but it is not freedom. There are seven men still unjustly incarcerated from the original seventy-five political prisoners arrested and sentenced during the la Primavera Negra, the Black Spring Crackdown. These men are those we know of, but who knows how many thousands are imprisoned invisable to the world outside Cuba. They are nameless to us, but their suffering is just as great, their fate equally unjust, and all just as deserving of freedom as the named. It is for them, the invisible victims of Castro imprisoned behind bars, and their fellow citizens living imprisoned not by bars, but the walls of the tropical iron curtain that these men, these Plantados, in their refusal to accept banishment from their home represent. They are the David´s facing the Goliath of the Stalinist State, warriors in the name of freedom. Write down their names:
Pedro Argüelles Morán, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Oscar Elias Biscet González, José Ferrer García, Diosdado González Marrero, Iván Heernández Carrillo, Librado Linares García, and Félix Navarro Rodríguez.
Why are they not free as agreed to by he regime months and months ago?
