Official Joint Release:
Total success with the protests on March 18.
The Coordinadora Nacional Cubana, Plataforma Cuba Democracia !Ya! and El
Movimiento Cubano Unidad Democratica, who organized massive protests and
manifestations at the international level in front of Cuban embassies in
different countries from three continents and also united Cubans and
friends in masses around the world want to proudly present that the
final result was a total success.
The main objectives for these events is to bring to the forefront the
unusual increase of repression in Cuba against the pacifist opposition
and the people in general, the extreme crisis facing our political
prisoners, and the constant violations to the Human rights. These
objectives were fulfilled upon seeing the support and solidarity across
the globe. We can without a doubt say: The world had its day of
information, the world today knows more than ever what really happens in
Cuba and was able to know through television, radio, the press and the
Internet what happens to our brothers in the island.
The Coordinadora Nacional Cubana, Plataforma Cuba Democracia !Ya! and El
Movimiento Cubano Unidad Democratica, extend our most sincere
congratulations and gratitude to all organizations of Cuban exile and
other international organizations that although non-Cuban support our
fundamental cause, the Freedom of the Cuban People.
This international protest sends a message directly to the dictatorship,
our power to unite is proven, your days are numbered; stop immediately
the repression against your own people.
