July 13th, 1994: In Remembrance

On that date, a tugboat leaving Cuba for the United States was sunk by Cuban patrol boats seven miles off the coast of Cuba. 43 died in the attack, many of them children.

There are some excellent posts remembering that sad day over at Paxety Pages and Babalu. Please make sure to follow their links to the report sent to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights regarding the event.

There's really nothing for me to say that not already expressed in those two posts, only to show solidarity with my fellow Cuban-American bloggers and to remind people of the atrocities that the castro regime has committed and continues to inflict to this day.
