Message from Secretary General on Anniversary of the Death of Oswaldo Payá
July 22, 2017
Five years ago, on July 22, 2012, Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero died when the vehicle they were riding in crashed into a tree in the eastern Cuban province of Bayamo. Ángel Carromero and Jens Aron Modig were also in the car.
Even today, series and well-founded doubts about the case persist. That is why on this new anniversary of the death of Oswaldo Payá, I join the call of the families of the victims and of all those who demand justice for a professional and impartial investigation.
Oswaldo Payá was perhaps the best-known activist in Cuba because of his tireless work in favor of democracy. Through the Varela Project he promoted the amendment of laws to respect the right to free expression, freedom of the press and freedom of association.
The Varela Project is based on the Constitution of Cuba itself, which under article 88 (g), grants legal initiative to citizens, among other powers.
The freedom to meet, associate and to speech are fundamental rights recognized in international human rights law and all democratic societies.
These principles must be respected. It is unacceptable that those who try to defend their rights are persecuted for their opinions and have their voices silenced.
From the OAS we must always promote respect for basic freedoms, that sovereignty lies in the people, and the most complete validity of human rights.
The struggle of Oswaldo Payá is absolutely inspiring for our defense of these principles and values.
