He was also an active organizer for the Varela Project, a petition calling for free elections and improved human rights in Cuba. As a young man, he spent time in the labor camp known as the UMAP, or Unidades Militares de Ayuda a la Producción, and was arrested in 2000 but released soon after. In 2003 during Cuba’s Black Spring, he was sentenced to 25 years of detention in the prison Combinado del Este in Havana.
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.
