Today marks four years since historic protests in Cuba.
Senators Rick Scott and Ashley Moody leading a resolution today commending the Cuban freedom fighters and condemning the island's communist regime.
South Florida Congressman Mario Diaz Balart released a statement marking today's anniversary:
“Unfortunately, the regime’s lies, violence, and abuse continue against courageous pro-democracy activists like José Daniel Ferrer, Félix Navarro, Sayli Navarro, and thousands more.
“I stand in unwavering solidarity with the Cuban people and urge the international community to do the same in condemning this murderous regime.
“The Cuban people will be free, and it will be due to the courage of those heroes who, despite the immense personal sacrifices, dare to denounce the regime’s repression and human rights abuses.”
He adds, there are currently "more than a thousand documented political prisoners –including children– unjustly imprisoned in inhumane conditions."
