Human Rights Oral History Project Interview with Jorge Luis García Pérez and Iris Pérez Aguilera Miami, Florida, November 5, 2013 Interview 5312.0013 Interviewed by Julio Estorino Recorded by Javier Carrion Outline by Julio Estorino and Nancy Cermeño Interview with Jorge Luis García Pérez and Iris Pérez Aguilera. Jorge Luis García Pérez, also known as Antúnez, is a human rights and democracy activist in Cuba. Antúnez was released from prison after serving a 17-year sentence from 1990 to 2007. He was 25 when he was jailed for shouting slogans against President Fidel Castro in Placentas, a town in central Cuba. He was convicted of sabotage after authorities accused him of setting fire to sugar cane fields, a charge of violence that he denied, but which kept international rights groups from considering him a “prisoner of conscience.” Antúnez continued to protest in prison, where he founded a political prisoner group named after Pedro Luis Boitel, a jailed dissident who died in a hunger strike in 1972. Iris Pérez Aguilera founded the Rosa Parks Feminist Movement for Civil Rights, a human rights movement in Cuba. The husband and wife both continue their protests for human rights in Cuba and have participated in acts of non-violent resistance while denouncing human rights violation on the island. 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. This oral history expresses the views, memories and opinions of the interviewee.
