lpv:translated text	"Allow me to express my delight that the Andrei Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought has been awarded to the 'Damas de Blanco', a movement of Cuban women peacefully striving for domestic and foreign support for the proclamation of a general pardon in Cuba. I have personally received detailed information on the activities of the mothers and wives of political prisoners from Mrs Gisela Sánchez Verdecia, the wife of Cuban prisoner Antonio Díaz Sánchez, whom I have symbolically adopted together with my colleagues, MEPs Peter Šťastný and Milan Gaľo. This heroic woman is fighting for her husband, who is serving a twenty-year sentence and is in a critical state of health as a consequence of inhumane treatment. I would like to express my deep solidarity with this group of Cuban women in their valiant fight for the liberation of all political prisoners. I hope that the European Parliament will not rely exclusively on the Sakharov Prize as a means for raising awareness of Cuba’s failure to uphold the Declaration of Human Rights. I urge Parliament to continue pressing for an early return of democracy to Cuba."@en1
