Dr. Darsi Ferrer

Last year Cuban dissident and human rights activist Dr. Darsi Ferrer planned and tried to execute a peaceful march in commemoration of Human Rights Day on December 10th. The results were typical of the castro regime's all out repression:

As you can see, the participants were attacked and mobbed by the castro regime's Rapid Response Brigades, government paid goons bussed in to prevent any and all dissension.

The Real Cuba reports that the good Doctor is once again risking it all so that he and his 11 million Cuban counterparts are afforded the inalienable rights of all free human beings:

Dec. 8 - Cuban dissident Dr. Darsi Ferrer plans to march again next Wednesday, Human Rights Day, to protest the lack of human rights in the island.

Last year, Dr. Ferrer, his wife and several other dissidents were attacked by mobs organized and controlled by the Cuban regime.

Since 2005, Dr. Ferrer and a group of Cuban dissidents have met at Villalon Park, in el Vedado suburb of Havana, to commemorate this day and every year the Cuban regime has sent their thugs to attack the peaceful gathering of dissidents. (See photos above taken during last year's march)

"Last year, at the same time that we were being attacked by mobs organized by the Cuban government, Susan McDade, the United Nations Resident Representative for Cuba, Latin America and the Caribbean, was congratulating the Cuban regime for having signed the Declaration of Human Rights. At no time did Ms. McDade made any references to the brutal attack against the peaceful dissidents that gathered at Villalon Park," said Dr. Ferrer.

Dr. Ferrer also said that he makes Cuba's Interior Ministry, Abelardo Colome Ibarra, responsible for anything that happens to him or to any of the other dissidents that plan to join him on Wednesday.

Here is the e-mail of Susan Mc Dade: susan.mcdade@undp.org please write to her and tell her to do her job to try to protect the Cuban dissidents who want to commemorate Human Rights Day.

The Real Cuba has much more on last year's march, right here including this video link.

The only protection human rights activists in Cuba like Dr. Darsi Ferrer and bloggers who speak truth to power like Yoani Sanchez have is media exposure. The more their plight is known, the less chances that the regime will take measures againt them and their families.

Spreading the word covers their flanks.
