Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement commemorating 26 years since the murder of the Brothers to the Rescue humanitarian mission by the Castro dictatorship. For years, Rubio has fought for justice following the brutal shootdown of Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre, Jr., Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales.
“Today is yet another reminder of the cruel nature of the Cuban regime. 26 years ago, the dictatorship cowardly murdered four Cuban Americans as they flew over international waters conducting a humanitarian mission. Not a day goes by in which our Cuban exile community isn’t reminded of the pain and anguish the criminal Castro dictatorship has inflicted on so many people. The lives of Carlos, Armando, Mario, and Pablo were not lost in vain. Rather, they epitomize the courage and valor of a generation that selflessly risked their lives as their fellow Cubans fled the tyranny of an oppressive and brutal regime. Jeanette and I unite in grief and prayer as we pay tribute to the lives of these four men lost in this tragedy.”
Miami, FL — El senador Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado conmemorando los 26 años del asesinato de los integrantes de la misión humanitaria Hermanos al Rescate por parte de la dictadura Castrista. Por años, Rubio ha luchado por que se haga justicia tras el brutal derribo donde fallecieron Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre, Jr., Mario de la Peña y Pablo Morales.
“Hoy es otro recordatorio de la cruel naturaleza del régimen cubano. Hace 26 años, la dictadura asesinó cobardemente a cuatro cubanoamericanos cuando sobrevolaban aguas internacionales durante una misión humanitaria. No pasa un día en que nuestra comunidad cubana en el exilio no se recuerde del dolor y la agonía que la dictadura criminal de los Castro le ha infligido a tantas personas. Las vidas de Carlos, Armando, Mario y Pablo no fueron en vano. Más bien, ellos personifican la valentía y el valor de una generación que arriesgó sus vidas mientras sus compatriotas huían de la tiranía de un régimen opresivo. Jeanette y yo nos unimos en oración mientras rendimos homenaje a las vidas de estos cuatro hombres que fallecieron en esta tragedia”.
