By Cuban Democratic Directorate

The voice of Cuban resistance is heard in the headquarters of the Hispano-Cuban Foundation

Madrid, September 21, 2005 – With the participation of the Legislator Guillermo Gortázar, who directs the Hispano-Cuban Foundation in Madrid, and the contribution of former political prisoner and revolutionary Commander Huber Matos, poet Raúl Rivero and the recording of Bertha Antúnez Pernet from Placetas, Cuba, the book “Boitel Vive: testimonio desde el actual presidio político en Cuba” written by Cuban political prisoner, Jorge Luis García Pérez “Antúnez,” was presented.

 

“When I went to prison, the inmates told me with pride, ‘Antúnez was here,’ it was for them like a prize, like an emblem of what a political prisoner is. Because he has established a high standard in every prison where he has been during his long pilgrimage,” expressed Raúl Rivero before the emotion and applause of the audience.

 

The former revolutionary Commander Húber Matos Benítez focused on the condemnation and testimony of the book, emphasizing his concern for the Antúnez family, against which there has been increased repression in the last few months, recognizing the courage of Bertha Antúnez, sister of the political prisoner.

 

The book by Antúnez was first presented in Buenos Aires Argentina on may 13th, 2005, and has since been presented in Miami, Santo Domingo, Montevideo and now in Madrid.
