C uba, our country in pain, is another martyr. His name is Orlando Zapata Tamayo, who has died in Havana, just 42 years. I come home very late from work and I find the sad news. Great sorrow and powerlessness. There is so much impunity in this regime and the world is so intentionally unconcerned about facts like this that we can only wish the same as always, but perhaps more strongly than before, so many years of odious dictatorship. The order and the way it is.
My respects and condolences to the family of the man whose remains rest in less than two feet of earth humble, grateful and most of all: free.
And never forget why we fight, for ideas, for principles, solidarity, love. This is what we mean Orlando Zapata from his silence and eternal. Do not think that is now worth so much sacrifice was, is, in vain. Nothing freezes the blood of a man who knew how to die for what he believes. That
Müller lucid sentence: "When human life is shorter than a dictatorship, that human life has been stolen by the state."
Rest in peace, brother Zapata.
