Make some noise for hunger-striking Cuban prisoners
Four Cuban political prisoners — Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta, Alfredo Dominguez Batista, Orlando Zapata Tamayo and Luis Mariano Deliz Utria — are currently on hunger strike at the Holguín Provincial Prison, demanding better living conditions and greater respect for their human rights. Herrera is near death, and the others are in not much better shape. The dictatorship ignores their demands, and has even moved to crush any public acts of solidarity with those who traveled to Holguín to show their support.
The citizens of Santa Clara, however, refused to remain silent. One night last week, in different parts of town, residents opened their windows and began banging pots to show their support for their imprisoned brothers.
How much noise are you willing to make?
