Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  The support for this movement? Nowhere. We don't have support at all.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Moral support; we have moral support.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I have something to say about political prisoners in Cuba. From what I know, a political prisoner could be anybody. If you try to make a coup against the government, you fall in that category of political prisoners. I don't think we have too many political prisoners in Cuba. What we have in Cuba is prisoners of conscience.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  There could be something like that in Cuba. For myself, I was born under communism. I breathed communism; I ate communism. I don't think it's even communism. It is a dictatorship, tyranny. It is even more than communism. For me, I don't care who you are or what you are or what your ideas are; I respect you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  First of all, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to be here. I'm Cuban, and what happened to me in Cuba was really bad. So I'm really happy right now that we're talking about Cuba, about the situation we have in Cuba right now. In 1990, I was only 20 years old, and based on the situation within my country I felt it was my duty to protest.
