"Mr President, I too want to thank you for the efforts that you personally have made to enable Oswaldo José Payá Sardiñas to leave Cuba after a thousand and one difficulties and no end of bureaucratic obstacles.
I want you to know however that, among those Cubans who are not allowed to leave the country, are dozens of people who, after having put their names to the Varela Project calling for a referendum, have been expelled from their universities, imprisoned, harassed, maltreated and arrested. The
crime they have committed is to endorse a referendum on democracy. That shows just how provocative a prize this is, and how important it is. I thought you might want to be aware of this before the discussion and prize-giving ceremony tomorrow."@en1
