For Life, For the Truth, For the Future.

Nice! Rosa Maria Paya in her blog. Cuban journalism is too important to be left in the hands of Cuban journalists. Rosa Maria Payá hands a treat to the salaried employees of the International Press Center in Havana, whining cowards who don’t know how to read freely and without fear what there is to read. … Continue reading “NICE! @RosaMariaPaya / Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo #Cuba”

Oswaldo Paya and his daughter Rosa Maria, before his death earlier this year The Heredia Project can be signed or at least freely disseminated for Cubans and the great media (scaredy cats) of the international press. To the imprisoned national press it’s preferable not to mention it, because no Cuban journalist knows how to read…! … Continue reading “More Simple and Sincere Oswaldo Paya’s #ProyectoHeredia / Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo #Cuba”
