MIAMI, United States.- At the “Voices for Freedom of Religion in Cuba” event, which took place this Monday at the JW Marriott hotel in Los Angeles, California, Cuban singer Yotuel Romero called for the freedom of Cuban political prisoners and He drew attention to the risks faced by children on the island, the most affected in a dictatorship.
The musician explained that the biggest victims of the Cuban dictatorship are the children, “the broken childhood that has to put up with a president who publicly gives the combat order.” Those children, he lamented, have to observe and suffer that their parents, brothers, uncles… are sentenced to long years of deprivation of liberty.
“Today I put myself in the shoes of those children. Broken childhood is not recovered, it is not recomposed, “she said, mentioning the case of the seven-year-old daughter of rapper Maykel Osorbo, who in a video asks for her father’s freedom
During his speech, in which he sang the musical success that became an anthem for the freedom of Cuba: Patria y Vida, Romero questioned whether Cuban children deserve so much hate, so much punishment and so much injustice.
“You have to put yourself in the shoes of Cuban children, you have to put yourself in the shoes of those fathers and mothers who go out and cross the border and leave their children behind, of those doctors who cannot see their children for eight years, or of the children who see their mother prostitute herself for a little milk,” he said.
Voices for freedom of religion in Cuba was held in parallel to the IX Summit of the Americas, which began this June 6, also in Los Angeles.
During the meeting, broadcast live on CubaNet, religious leaders denounced the rape of religious freedom in Cuba and the testimonies of people persecuted for their faith on the island were heard.
