Quotes of the day — In memory of Oswaldo Payá
Oswaldo Payá on the deadly threats made to him by the Castro dictatorship in Cuba (via Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter):
"Contrary to what takes place with those who stand accused before a judicial system that is more or less normal, when an opposition leader dies within a dictatorship that dreams of his disappearance, I consider it an assassination until proven otherwise."
"El Paredon" by any other name, is still El Paredon.
Indeed Humberto, the Castro brothers keep killing their opposition just that these days they use different "Paredon" methods to achieve the same goals.
Murder is still murder whether it is executed by means of injecting poison/viruses like in the case of Laura Pollan or running someone off the road like in Paya's case.

Or may I add, murder is, also, allowing someone to die of a hunger strike in a jail as occurred with Zapata.
But of course, the mainstream media that would have been asking for the head of the leader of any so-called right winged country if this had happened in one of those nations [i.e. Honduras], is being so cautious with Paya's death that they are doing nothing more than repeating the regime's party line: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
