MIAMI, United States. – The Assembly of the Cuban Resistance summons the Cuban exile to an act of reparation for “the massacre committed by the communist regime of Cuba against the people near the town of Bahía Honda in recent days”.
“We have to unite and act against this crime and those who try to hide it. Enough of weak responses,” said activist Sylvia Iriondo.
For his part, Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, of the Assembly of the Cuban Resistance (ARC), assured: “We are going to initiate a series of public acts of this community in rejection of this massacre in Bahía Honda, which constitutes a crime against humanity, in condemnation of collusion with the tyranny of merchants who would bring resources from the United States to the repressors and in support of the National Strike in Cuba.”
The event will take place next Saturday, November 5, at 3:00 pm at Brigade 2506 Headquarters (1821 SW 9 St Miami, Florida 33135).
The ARC is not the only Cuban exile organization that has reacted to the crime committed by the regime near Bahía Honda, which cost the lives of eight Cuban migrants.
This Monday, the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba (FHRC) included in his list of violent repressors to those responsible for the death of said migrants.
In a statement, the FHRC condemned “the cold-blooded murder” on Friday, October 28, of five Cubans, including a two-year-old girl, when she was rammed by a Border Guard Troop boat north of Bahía Honda, Artemisa, a boat with 23 people on board.
The Ministry of the Interior assured in a press release that the boat sank when it collided with the Border Guard patrol after violating the territorial waters of Cuba, but the survivors assure that they were sunk on purpose, the FHRC specified.
“History also confirms that this is just another crime against humanity perpetrated in cold blood in the solitude of the sea by the communist regime,” the statement read.
Likewise, the FHRC recalled that in the same way “the ship ‘XX Aniversario’ was machine-gunned and bombed with civilians on board in July 1980 on the Canímar River, and thus was sunk after being rammed by the tugboat ’13 de Marzo’ in the early morning of July 13, 1994, and the men, women and children who begged for mercy from the deck were thrown into the sea with pressurized water jets.”
“Testimonies of dozens of survivors attest that the border guards systematically ram to sink the boats that carry men, women and children in their attempt to flee from hell. The past 1st. In March, the young Avilanian William Padrón Maza died as a result of serious injuries received when a boat of the Cuban Border Guard Troops rammed a speedboat that had been stranded 11 miles from Cayo Coco. This cruel method of preventing irregular departures by sea is applied especially now when the regime intends that no one leave through that route,” lamented the Miami-based organization.
“Those responsible for these cold-blooded murders will have to pay for them one day. Meanwhile, the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba makes sure that their crimes are not forgotten,” the NGO said.
