VOICED : Disidencia cubana premia en ausencia a Almagro

Cuban dissidents honored OAS Secretary Luis Almagro with the Payá Award after the Cuban government barred his entry to the island. Rosa María Payá organized the event at her home without state security interference. The Cuban regime's actions against international guests and civil society members were criticized, with hopes for a response from OAS member governments. The Cuban government also denied entry to former Chilean minister Mariana Elwin and former Mexican president Felipe Calderón. Almagro publicly denounced the visa denial, which Cuban authorities deemed a provocation. Cuba, suspended from the OAS in 1962, refuses to rejoin despite being readmitted in 2009.
