Message from the Guatao Women's Prison.

María Cristina Garrido Rodríguez.

Miami. (PRC) - Today, December 1, 2021, it filled all of us affiliated with the Republican Party of Cuba (PRC) with joy and satisfaction to read the words of encouragement and messages that María Cristina Garrido Rodríguez and Lizandra Góngora Espinoza sent us through our compatriot Michael Valladares from the communist dungeons where they are kept locked up and deprived of all their rights.

Michael Valladares tells us the following in part:

"Greetings to all, from Cristina. Today I went to see her in prison. Well, she's signed in and is still in her cell on orders from security, as is Lisandra, and the new sister who joined the PRC, Gloria María López Valle, from Nueva Paz, Mayabeque."

María Cristina sends a warm embrace of patriotism to the organization and expresses her deep gratitude for all the support given by the PRC from the moment of her arrest. Thanks to the efforts of her fellow party members, she and her children have not experienced any problems.

Lisandra Góngora Espinoza.

Likewise, Lisandra sends a big hug to everyone, saying that even though she is in the clutches of the enemy, her resolve and her ideals are much stronger for the cause of freedom in Cuba, and she thanks you from the bottom of her heart for all the support you have offered to her and her children.

Gloria María López Valle.

Gloria María López Valle was invited to join the organization by María Cristina, as Gloria had been imprisoned with María Cristina and Angélica since the beginning of July 12th. Since then, they have discussed politics and democracy extensively, which is why Gloria López is in a cell with Lisandra Góngora and María Cristina, but she remains committed to the cause.

Angelica Garrido Rodriguez.

It moves us to know that women like these patriots suffer behind bars, in cages and padlocks, but at the same time we see how, despite everything, they are the ones who give us the encouragement to continue the fight that we have entrusted to ourselves out of patriotism.
