Statement by Press Secretary Jay Carney on the Death of Oswaldo Payá
The President's thoughts and
prayers are with the family and friends of Oswaldo Payá, a tireless champion
for greater civic and human rights in Cuba. Payá gave decades of
his life to the nonviolent struggle for freedom and democratic reform in Cuba
as the head of the Christian Liberation Movement, the leader of the Varela
Project, and through his role as a civil society activist. He remained
optimistic until the end that the country he loved would see a peaceful
and democratic transition. We continue to be
inspired by Payá's vision and dedication to a better future for Cuba, and
believe that his example and moral leadership will endure. The United
States will continue to support the Cuban people as they seek their fundamental
human rights.
Details on the life and death of Oswaldo Payá are chronicled in this article: New York Times
