Cuba ex-prisoner José Ferrer: 'Without human rights, man has no dignity'

José Daniel Ferrer García's intransigience made him one of the final Group of 75 prisoners of conscience to be released from the Castro gulag.

Now out of prison after 8 years in captivity, nothing has changed, as evidenced by Ferrer's comments after a meeting with other dissidents this week:

"Without human rights, man has no dignity, and without human rights, no society can flourish, and there can be no society without social justice."

Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcís's commitment to freedom and human rights, and his will, are as strong as ever.

And for that, Cuba tonight is a better place.
