“Averell Harriman Democracy Award from the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs in 2003 and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by former Czech President Vaclav Havel in 2005; (11) on April 11, 2018, the Senate unanimously passed S. Res. 224, recognizing the sixth anniversary of the death of Oswaldo Paya Sardinas, commemorating his legacy and commitment to democratic values and principles, and calling on the Cuban Government to allow an impartial, third-party investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death; and (12) renaming the street in front of the Embassy of Cuba in the District of Columbia after Oswaldo Paya serves as an expression of solidarity between the people of the United States and the people of Cuba, who are engaged in a long, nonviolent struggle for fundamental human rights.”
“(a) Findings.--Congress finds that-- (1) the revolution led by Fidel Castro in Cuba in 1959 started 64 years of an ongoing dictatorship, systemic human rights abuses, and a lack of basic freedom of press, religion, assembly, and association that continue to this day under the Communist rule of Raul Castro and his successor, Miguel Diaz-Canel; (2) Oswaldo Paya Sardinas was a Cuban political dissident and activist dedicated to promoting democratic freedoms and human rights in Cuba; (3) the Communist Party of Cuba has always viewed individuals with a commitment to democracy and freedom as a threat to the existence of the Communist Party of Cuba; (4) on July 22, 2012, a violent car crash, widely believed to have been carried out by the Castro regime, took the lives of Oswaldo Paya and Harold Cepero, another democratic activist; (5) the official investigation conducted by the Cuban regime into the crash has been demonstrated to be compromised, and the Cuban regime has blocked all efforts to conduct a credible and independent investigation into the crash, leaving the circumstances of the death of Oswaldo Paya unknown; (6) opposition by Oswaldo Paya to the Communist Party of Cuba began at a young age, when he refused to become a member of the Young Communist League as a primary school student, and continued through high school, when he publicly criticized the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union; (7) the Communist Party of Cuba responded to the opposition by Oswaldo Paya to the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union by sending Oswaldo Paya to a labor camp for 3 years; (8) Oswaldo Paya forewent a chance to escape Cuba in the 1980 Mariel boatlift, deciding instead to continue the fight for democracy in Cuba, saying, ``This is what I am supposed to be, this is what I have to do.''; (9) by creating the Varela Project in 1998, Oswaldo Paya demonstrated his staunch commitment to peacefully advocating for freedom of speech and freedom of assembly for his fellow Cubans; (10) in recognition of his determination for political reforms through peaceful protests, Oswaldo Paya was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by the European Parliament in 2002 and the W.”
