To the Honorable Commission of the City of Miami.
Cuban Vile CommunityDemonstration Against. the Celebration of the Latin Grammies in
Miami..
Honorable Commissioners of the city of Miami, a day like today, 48 years ago, was
created the most infamous movement in the history of The Americas, that since 1959 has
ruthlessly ruled Cuba, our country of origin. We, the politicat prisoners of that regimen are
represented here to express to tlris Commission the following: It is unacceptable the participation
in Miami of artist, representative of that. regimen, To an event like the Grammies, with the only
purpose of utilizing the art for their political gains internationally. We appose any type of efforts
that will favor and generate funds to a tyrant that by sheer terror violates the most basic human
rights of our people, as it is recognized and sanctioned by the United Nation Human Right
Commission. That it is also important to remind this Commission that we are referring; to the
same authoritarian regimen that poses a great menace to the security of the American people. It
was demonstrated in the October Crisis in 1962 when it was ready to perpetrate a nuclear attack
to this country, the downing of American planes in international waters and the introduction of
spies that were sanctioned by a Federal Court. Our only purpose here today is to express, in the
most strongly term and under our Constitutional right, the presence in our city of officials artist
as servants and instruments of that criminal regime. We, as representative of the Cuban Political
Prisoner Block and the organizations that support us in this matter, respectfully asks this
Commission: To instructs the Police Department of our constitutional rights to peacefiully
demonstrate and to restrain to use unnecessary force as it has done in the past,
