Interview with Rosa María Payá Acevedo
Hialeah, Florida, April 13, 2013
Interview 5312.0003
Interviewed by Julio Estorino
Recorded by Javier Carrion
Outline by Julio Estorino and Nancy Cermeño
Interview with Rosa María Payá Acevedo, daughter of Christian Liberation Movement founder Oswaldo Payá. Born in Havana in 1989, Rosa María Payá has become a formidable activist in the Christian Liberation Movement since her father’s death on July 22, 2012. Authorities state that Oswaldo Payá died along with Harold Cepero, another dissident, when their rental car went off the road and struck a tree in Bayamo, Cuba. Rosa María Payá has reason to question the authorities’ account based on other witness’ accounts. She went to Cuba following an international tour to promote an independent investigation to shed light and seek justice for the violent circumstances that led to the death of her father and Cepero. She also continues to advocate for a transition to democracy and a reconciliation process for Cuba, and now resides in Miami, Florida.
This interview forms part of the Human Rights Oral History Project (HROHP) of the Cuban Heritage Collection, University of Miami Libraries. The Project aims to capture the testimonies of Cuban dissidents. In its first phase, HROHP focuses on the Black Spring of 2003 when the Cuban government arrested 75 activists. Interviews were conducted with a number of the dissidents who served time in prison as part of the Grupo de los 75 (Group of the 75) and with members of the Damas de Blanco (Ladies in White), an organization of the wives, mothers, daughters, and other female relatives of jailed dissidents. The Human Rights Oral History Project was launched in 2013 with funding from the Marlins Foundation.
