Havana, Cuba, Sep 8, 2004 / 22:00 pm
In an interview with the Cubanet news agency, noted Cuban dissident Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello, recently released from prison for health reasons, sent a message to opposition leaders who remain imprisoned, exhorting them, “Do not lose faith in God.”
Roque, leader of the Assembly for the Promotion of Civil Society in Cuba, underscored in her message to the dozens of political prisoners that “those of us who have been released continue the struggle. Your imprisonment has not been in vain. Have faith in God, for with God nothing is impossible.”
She also told Cubanet that she is not technically free, but that she is on a prison leave. “I think the national and international support we have received has had a lot to do with this. It has been a determining factor.”
