By Cuban Democratic Directorate

Rocha, Uruguay, August 22nd, 2005 -- As was planned, the Presentation on the situation of Cuban political prisoners took place on Monday, August 22nd at 7pm at Lista 71, streets 18 de Julio and 25 de Agosto in the city of Rocha, Uruguay.

The presentation commenced with the participation of parliamentarian Blanca Repetto, and the exhibition of the video on the “Prague Conference for Democracy in Cuba”, by Centro para la Apertura y el Desarrollo de América Latina.

The presentation contained testimonials of Cubans who are discriminated for political reasons: student Andres Decuadra read from “Cartas a Cuba” (Letters to Cuba) published by the International Committee for Democracy in Cuba; professor Adela Alvarez presented “Otra Grieta en la Pared,” by Fernando Ruiz; and Professor Estela Sosa de Fontes analyzed “Los derechos fundamentales y el orden jurídico e institucional de Cuba” (The Fundamental Rights and Institutional and Judicial Order in Cuba) by Ricardo Rojas.

“Our country counted on the solidarity of other nations during its years under a dictatorial government, now it is time to augment this solidarity by working for liberty and a life in democracy for the Cuban people, who have suffered under a dictatorship for the past 46 years,” said Repetto.
