DECLARATIONS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCILS OF THE STATE AND OF THE MINISTERS RAÚL RUZ CASTRATED ON THE DEATH OF THE RECLUSE ORLANDO SHOE TAMAYO, MARIEL, ON FEBRUARY 24, 2010
We are sorry about it very much.
It was condemned to three years but in the jail it committed crimes, the sanction increased. Then, it took ours his better hospitals. He died, we are sorry about it very much.
Unfortunately, in this confrontation that we have with the United States, we have lost thousands of Cuban, especially victims of terrorism of the State. Between dead and disabled, thousand have been about 5, and there did not count other thousands of injured men who went so far as to recover, including diplomats who were murdered also abroad and including missing persons in other countries.
The day that the United States decide to coexist in peace with us, all these problems will be finished and we will overcome many other problems. Simply we have to get accustomed to living respecting some others to us.
They say that they want to discuss with us and we are ready to discuss with the North American government all the problems that they want; I repeated three times, in the Parliament, all, all, all. We do not accept the discussions if they are not in absolute equality of both parts. They can investigate or ask of all the questions of Cuba, but we have right to ask of all the problems of the United States.
We do not recognize after him to any country for powerful that is, not to a set of countries as it might be the European Union, rightly to inmiscuirse in our internal matters. Nevertheless, we are ready to discuss everything.
In half a century, here we have not murdered anybody, here nobody has been tortured, here no extrajudicial execution has taken place. Very well, here in Cuba if it has been tortured, but in the Naval Base of Guantanamo, not in the territory that governs the Revolution.
His martyr Guillermo Nova obtains a discredited Cuban opposition, Cubainformación correspondent in Havana.-Despite the efforts of the doctors to avoid it, the deplorable death of Orlando Zapata has waved to an opposition not used to taking until the end his pulses to the government but especially lacking in martyrs.

Behind there stay in the memory those hunger strikes in which he was eating up undercover, or even was spending for the mixer meat pieces to him to make them show off for juice before the press means, these themselves that they were doing it are those who today weep for him, because in a country without tortures or extrajudicial deaths, they needed a martyr in that to wrap themselves up and they led to Shoe even to the ravine to show it like collective trophy.

In hunger strike by a phone

In December Shoe began a hunger strike asking for a few prison progress, like having a kitchen and a personal phone in his cell, things that are not had in any penitentiary center of the world and for it it did a pulse that could not win.

Reactions

Between the reactions to the death denunciations of supposed detentions have been realized throughout the day, to prevent the opponents from being able to come to Banes, city where the burial will be realized, it enters contradiction with which Martha Beatriz Roque, member of the group of the 75 and with an extrapenal license because of health, set off from Havana towards Banes in a minibus in company of a ten Checkers of Target and Vladimiro Roca. Enclosed Roque made sure by telephone to the newspaper El Pais that they had not had problems of mobility or that it should be forbidden to them to travel affirming that they were of way to the place.

The groups anticastristas receive more than 40 million dollars of the budgets of the United States, but then his claims have void social aftereffect in Cuba and in the international ambience they are obviated by the chiefs, going so far as even not to be invited for time to the proper Sina.

Test that the classic opposition has less and less credibility is that the support every time is bigger than the called cyberdissent that takes the Cuban bloggera Yoani Sánchez as a maximum star, who has not wasted the occasion to do a moviola of the case with declarations of the mother of the deceased in his blog.

Raúl Castro regrets
