Referendum for Freedom

According to Reuters:

Cuban dissidents propose vote on freeing prisoners

HAVANA - Cuban dissidents proposed on Thursday that the public vote on whether the island's political prisoners should be freed, while Cuba said its enemies are using human rights to "demonize" it.

The dissidents acknowledge their idea is unlikely to be accepted, but said they suggested it to end an impasse between the government and dissident hunger striker Guillermo Farinas, who is seeking the release of 26 ailing political prisoners.

"Why not leave the solution of this matter in the hands of the people?" Francisco Chaviano said in a press conference held by dissident group Agenda for the Cuban Transition.

EDITOR'S NOTE to Reuters: In the first paragraph, you refer to the Castro regime as "Cuba." Please note, it is the Castro regime -- and only the Castro regime -- that is making hysteric claims and preventing "Cuba" from exercising its free will. The repressed voice of "Cuba" has yet to be heard.
