Yesterday was the six-month anniversary of the death of Cuban political prisoner, Orlando Zapata Tamayo, pursuant to an 85-day hunger strike.
"The Cuban regime murdered my friend and brother, Orlando Zapata Tamayo. It did so in a vile, cowardly, premeditated and deliberate manner. They underestimated the stature of this man, who was tried and sentenced to death for the color of his skin and the color of his ideas. Orlando Zapata has loomed large. He has marked a before and an after. I think it is a light that was turned on in the midst of a dark tunnel."
- Juan Carlos Herrera Acosta, Cuban prisoner of conscience recently banished to Spain, PRLatam, 8/24/10
Please see the fitting tribute by Notes From the Cuban Exile Quarter.
