The Spanish edition of People Magazine has named Rosa Maria Payá, daughter of slain Cuban dissident Oswaldo Payá, to this year’s list of the Top 25 Most Powerful Women in the world (translation by Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter):
ROSA MARÍA PAYÁProfession: Human rights activist
Age: 24 years
Why we chose her:
Although she studied physics, the leader of the Christian Liberation Movement is dedicated to the fight for a democratic Cuba, asking for international support in order to conduct a plebiscite on the island that allows her countrymen to choose their political future.
