"To forget the victims means to kill them a second time. So I couldn't prevent the first death. I surely must be capable of
saving them from a second death." - Elie Wiesel
22 years ago on July 13, 1994 Cuban government agents killed 37 men, women and children trying to flee Cuba on board the "13 de Marzo" tugboat. Other vessels struck the tugboat and created a whirlpool effect to drown the survivors. Four years ago on July 22, 2012 human rights defenders Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, and Harold Cepero Escalante who denounced the above massacre were killed. For more information read the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) report on the July 13, 1994 tugboat massacre and the Human Rights Foundation report on the July 22, 2012 killings of Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, and Harold Cepero Escalante.
