Silent Vigil for Justice at Florida International University on July 13, 2012 |
Today students and activists gathered at the main fountain at Florida International University for 18 minutes of silence. One minute for each year that has passed in which the victims and their families have not had justice and their killers walk freely without having had to answer for their crimes in a court of law. This tradition has been carried out since 1995 and we will make every effort to see that it continues to be observed in the future until justice is achieved.
These are the victims of the tugboat! Victims of a cruel tyrant that claims to be a defender of the women and children of Cuba. |
