"God willing, and very soon we can embrace our brothers in a free Cuba. We have much hope now more than ever. This is the moment."
Maritza Lugo Fernández, a Miami activist and leader of the 30th of November Revolutionary Movement, declared her commitment to ongoing activism despite accusations from Cuban authorities of masterminding a terrorist attack. She spoke at a press conference at the Bay of Pigs Monument in Little Havana, expressing hope for the liberation of detained men involved in a deadly shootout with Cuba's coast guard on February 25. The group organized a "Proof of Life of Our Brothers" event to draw attention to those imprisoned following the confrontation between alleged counter-revolutionaries who departed from the Florida Keys and Cuban authorities.
