The Cuban opposition leader José Daniel Ferrercoordinator of the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU), he released an emotional message through a video where he warned that could be arrested again by the Cuban regime in the next few hours.

As he explained, the repressive forces of the regime could cut the Internet signal, assault his home and imprison him due to his refusal to remain silent in front of the abuses and crimes committed against the Cuban people.

“This may be my last communication with you,” said Ferrer, who has been a prisoner of consciousness on three previous occasions, and is not afraid .

In his message, recorded under blackout conditions and with a rechargeable lamp, Ferrer reiterated his unwavering commitment to fight for a free and democratic tank, both inside and out of prison. As defended from the first moment of his recent release, The opponent does not plan to shut up even if that attitude costs him to prison.

“I refuse to make the regime silence. “He firmly said in his recent direct.

Denunciation of the conditions of political prisoners

Ferrer dedicated an important part of his speech to expose the deplorable conditions faced by political prisoners in Cuban prisons.

In that sense, it made an urgent call to the international community and Cubans in exile to coordinate efforts and guarantee effective support for these prisoners, who often face hunger, diseases and extreme deficiencies.

“There are many political prisoners in the regime prisons Dying of hunger, sick, with scabies, without sufficient soap to bathe, drinking non -potable water, in truly terrible conditions, ”he denounced.

In addition, he stressed the importance of providing minimal financial assistance to meet the basic needs of these activists: “An activist who remains firm but does not develop a strong activism needs at least 100 dollars per month, while a dynamic activist, who does not shut up And he denounces the abuses from prison, he needs at least $ 150 to survive and fulfill his work, “he explained contributing life details in regime’s dungeons.

The opponent also pointed out that the lack of coordination between organizations that provide support can lead to inefficiencies, and advocated unity among Cuban Democratsand a narrower communication to optimize the resources destined for political prisoners.

Unit as a key to opposition

Another of the central points of Ferrer’s message was the need to strengthen unity in the Cuban prison opposition. According to the opponent, internal divisions, jealousy and unhealthy criticism between the activists weakens the fight against the regime and prolong the suffering of the Cuban people.

“Unity is of vital importance for our struggle. It is not just getting along to get along, it is to coordinate the actions, “he said.

In this regard, he stressed that all those who fight for a free Cuba must work together, leaving aside personal and political rivalries.

“Why am I not going to support and work with outstanding activists such as Félix Navarro, Manuel Cuesta Morúa, Berta Soler? Why not strengthen the struggle with organizations such as the National Cuban Foundation or the Assembly of Resistance? ”He questioned, urging the opposition to act with love, patriotism and courage.

Personal and international commitment

“José Daniel does not give up. He will always fight for his people and will always be supportive with all those who suffer from freedom and democracy in other lands,” he said.

In his message, he expressed his solidarity with democratic countries such as the United States, Canada and the nations of the European Union, as well as with the people of Ukraine and others that face authoritarian regimes.

Resolved to freely express their political opinions and principles, Ferrer firmly condemned the dictatorships of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and Nicaragua, among others.

“I will always criticize and combat and condemn criminal regimes that trample the rights and freedoms of their peoples,” he said.
