Critic of the oppression, the inequalities and the operation of the man, in own meat underwent so much of the Nazi yoke as of the communist totalitarianism in his Poland birthday. His to act he has filled of admiration to the entire world throughout his pontificado, being generated a deep respect towards person on the part of the humanity everything, independent of professed the political or ideological creed.

The Cuban problem did not escape to its deep vision of man of God: the same against the embargo was pronounced that against the suppression of the civil liberties; in favor of the freedom of the political prisoners, which includes our case by the happened arrests days 18, 19 and 20 of March of year 2003. Everything within a frame of sanity and respect to the other people's opinion.

Like catholic medical instructor and deep admirer of Karol Józef Wojtyła, more met unforgettably for the world like Juan Pablo II; in own name and from all the Cuban prisoners, especially from the political prisoners, it arrives - although a little takes by the social isolation that the prison imposes east message to the authorities and representatives to me of the Catholic Church like testimony of the pain a humble servant.
