Fariñas accepts Sakharov prize on behalf of all Cuban freedom fighters

Humble as ever, Guillermo Fariñas is proud to accept the European Parliament's Sakharov human rights prize:

"I have to interpret this news with modesty, but also in a spirit of peaceful resistance. Modest because it’s a prize that even if given to me personally I accept on behalf of all Cuba’s exiles, political prisoners and dissidents. As I speak they are fighting for a free and democratic Cuba."
