Christian Liberation Movement: 25 years on the Path of the People
Posted on September 8, 2013

… We must announce to Cubans that their lives, their dignity and their
freedom belong to them and that no one, not Caesar, can take these
things from them if they don't give in because of fear or other reasons.

Oswaldo Paya Sardinas

Inspired by these ideas, our Christian Liberation Movement was founded
25 years ago. Born to defend the rights of all Cubans and to promote the
full liberation of the person leading to the development of society.

We want to serve, we are convinced that in Cuba the changes that the
people want will only occur if the majority of Cubans, freeing
themselves from the culture of fear, take a liberating step to reclaim
their lives. The law should guarantee the right to do away with the
simulation generated by an oppressive system, like the totalitarian
regime that prevails in our country. We are part of the same people,
those who live inside and outside the archipelago;we are not trying to
speak for a people, we are working for citizens to have a voice.

Liberation demands its right and the right of Cubans to know the truth;
an independent investigation is required to make public the
circumstances under which died our leaders Oswaldo Paya and Harold
Cepero died, after an attack on 22 July 2012.

The dialogue that we are proposing is inclusive, where we are all
represented, and in an atmosphere of trust that only respect for the law
and the practice of fundamental rights can guarantee. We condemn the
"Fraud Change" and the false dialogue that excludes and discriminates
against those who do not submit, tools that the regime seeks to impose
to preserve absolute power and control of the resources belonging to all
Cubans. We demand transparency for Cuba and call on Cubans one and all
to claim and build this path of changes.

Liberation with the opposition diverse and united in the Camino del
Pueblo (the Way of the People), promotes a plebiscite for the sovereign
people to decide the changes. Only when citizens can choose their
government in free and multiparty elections, can we talk about Cuba
having inexorably begun real democratic changes. So today we demand,
within the history of thousands of Cubans who propose legal initiatives
through a referendum, a referendum to restore the sovereignty of the people

All Cubans, all brothers, and now freedom.
