Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Senators Rick Scott (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) in introducing a resolution honoring the efforts of Cuban democracy and human rights activist José Daniel Ferrer and the vital contribution and humanitarian efforts of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU). The resolution condemns Cuba’s brutal authoritarian Communist regime and calls for the international community to stand with the Cuban people in their fight for freedom.
Rubio is the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civil Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
“As we introduce this resolution, the Cuban dictatorship’s political police has once again incarcerated UNPACU’s leader José Daniel Ferrer,” Rubio said. “For decades, the Castro brothers, as well as their puppet leader, have resorted to violence, censorship, repression, and arbitrary arrests to censure and silence the voices of any Cuban who opposes their tyranny. Ferrer’s courage, as well as the valor of UNPACU’s members both on the island and abroad, are true examples of patriotism.”
“For decades, the Cuban people have suffered atrocities, oppression and misery at the hands of the communist Castro regime. I’m disgusted to hear about the constant harassment, torture and inhumane conditions the Cuban regime is inflicting on the courageous leader, José Daniel Ferrer, and the brave members of UNPACU,” Scott said. “The world cannot ignore the people of Cuba in their struggle for freedom. I’m proud to lead my colleagues today in standing with José Daniel Ferrer and the courageous activists who bravely fight to defend human rights, freedom and the democratic movement in Cuba. Cuba’s brutal authoritarian communist regime must stop persecuting dissidents, artists and journalists who stand up against their oppression. José Daniel Ferrer and his movement is the future of Cuba, not the ruthless communist regime.”
RUBIO SE UNE A SCOTT, CRUZ EN PRESENTAR UNA RESOLUCIÓN EN HONOR AL LÍDER PRO-DEMOCRACIA Y DE DD.HH. JOSÉ DANIEL FERRER
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) se unió a los senadores Rick Scott (R-FL) y Ted Cruz (R-TX) para presentar una resolución en honor a los esfuerzos del activista cubano José Daniel Ferrer y la Unión Patriótica de Cuba (UNPACU), en la defensa de la democracia y los derechos humanos. La resolución condena al despiadado régimen comunista en Cuba e insta a la comunidad internacional a apoyar al pueblo cubano en su lucha por la libertad.
Rubio es el Miembro de Más Alto Rango del Subcomité sobre Hemisferio Occidental, Crimen Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
“Mientras presentamos esta resolución, la policía política de la dictadura cubana una vez más ha encarcelado al líder de la UNPACU, José Daniel Ferrer”, Rubio dijo. “Por décadas, los hermanos Castro, así como su títere presidencial, han recurrido a la violencia, la censura, la represión y detenciones arbitrarias para censurar y silenciar las voces de cualquier cubano que se oponga a su tiranía. La valentía de Ferrer, así como el coraje de los miembros de la UNPACU, tanto en la isla como en el exterior, son verdaderos ejemplos de patriotismo”.
“Durante décadas, el pueblo cubano ha sufrido atrocidades, opresión y miseria a manos del régimen comunista de Castro”, Scott dijo. “Es espantoso escuchar el constante hostigamiento, tortura y condiciones inhumanas del régimen cubano en contra del líder José Daniel Ferrer, y los valientes miembros de UNPACU. El mundo no puede ignorar al pueblo cubano en su lucha por la libertad. Me enorgullece liderar hoy a mis colegas para apoyar a José Daniel Ferrer y los valientes activistas que luchan incansablemente por defender los derechos humanos, la libertad y el movimiento democrático en Cuba. El régimen genocida de Cuba debe dejar de perseguir a los disidentes, artistas y periodistas que se oponen a su opresión. José Daniel Ferrer y su movimiento es el futuro de Cuba, no el despiadado régimen comunista”.
“La valentía y labor de José Daniel Ferrer, y otros como él, restaurarán la libertad de Cuba”, Cruz dijo. “Me enorgullece unirme al Senador Scott para enviar un mensaje claro y contundente al régimen de Díaz-Canel que los Estados Unidos no se ha olvidado de Ferrer y apoya a todos aquellos que luchan contra la tiranía”.
