On behalf of Duke's Cuban American Student Association and the Duke Chapter of the University Council of the Cuban American National Foundation, I would like to express our solidarity with Grace Wang.
As members of the Cuban Diaspora, we empathize with the cause of free thought and free speech throughout the world. We also understand the workings of a totalitarian government which threatens the lives of those who stand up for what they believe in. We admire Wang for standing up for her beliefs, in spite of the personal repercussions inflicted upon her by an oppressive regime. She does not stand alone.
May human rights and civil liberties be respected in China, in Tibet, in Cuba and throughout the world.
