San Pedro Sula, Honduras. June 2, 2009. Assembly of the Resistance. On the morning of June 2, 2009, representatives of the Assembly of the Resistance, a union of Cuban democratic forces, met personally with the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) José Miguel Insulza to convey to him the democratic aspirations of the Cuban people.

 

In accord with their objective of achieving the Cuban Resistance’s recognition at the OAS, two of the three members of the Assembly of the Resistance’s Secretariat were accredited and will be present at the inauguration of the OAS General Assembly.

 

“We have come here to present the yearning fro democracy of the Cuban people on all fronts and by all means, and we will not give up in this struggle,” declared Sylvia Iriondo, President of Mothers and Women Against Repression (M.A.R. por Cuba).

 

Iriondo, along with Dr. Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, National Secretary of the Cuban Democratic Directorate, expressed to Insulza the necessity of recognizing the Cuban Resistance as the true voice of the Cuban people. Iriondo and Gutiérrez-Boronat also hand delivered to Insulza a letter signed by 694 Cuban activists and citizens on the Island that rejects the possible readmission of the totalitarian Cuban regime in the OAS.

 

“We are here on behalf of the Resistance in Cuba, to present their firm opposition to the readmission of the Castro dictatorship in the OAS,” stated Gutiérrez Boronat.

 

The meeting took place amid a tense climate after a pro Castro mob interrupted a press conference on June 1st, during which victims of Castro regime repression offered their testimony before the international press and Latin American lawmakers.
