Solidarity delegation plans to travel to Cuba for N15 protests

A delegation headed by Rosa María Payá, founder of Cuba Decide, and members of the European Parliament plans to travel to Cuba on November 15 on a humanitarian mission to observe the peaceful demonstrations. The delegation also has among its objectives to visit political prisoners in jails and visit hospitals.

The Cuban nation, which lives inside and outside the island, will be on the streets this November 15th because we want to recover our country and move forward in freedom. We have requested permits to fly tomorrow and participate from Cuba because, as Cubans, we have that right,” said Rosa María Payá in a statement.

European Parliament member Hermann Terstch stated that he will go to Cuba to show his support and friendship with "the people that have been trampled on for 63 years", as well as "to put an end to the accomplices in European and American democracies that have made it possible".

The airline with which the delegation intends to travel with has requested flight permits from the Cuban authorities for the delegation.
