dissidents

Wikipédia :

- Guillermo Fariñas Hernández (born 3 January 1962) ("El Coco") is a Cuban doctor of psychology, independent journalist and political dissident in Cuba. He has conducted 23 hunger strikes over the years to protest various elements of the Cuban regime. He has stated that he is ready to die in the struggle against censorship in Cuba.

He has indicated that he will remain on strike until twenty-six other prisoners of conscience who are seriously ill are set free. As of April 1, 2010, he has been in a hospital in his hometown of Santa Clara, receiving fluids intravenously since collapsing on March 11, 2010. His condition is said to be weak, but stable.

On July 8, 2010, Fariñas ended his 134-day hunger strike Thursday, following signs the communist government is making good on its promise to release 52 political prisoners.
2010 Sakharov Prize
On 20 October 2010 Fariñas was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by the European Parliament.[7] In presenting the award the parliament commended Fariñas saying that he was a "symbol of the fight for freedom of speech". This marks the third time that the award has been made to Cuban dissidents.

- Orlando Zapata Tamayo (May 15, 1967 – February 23, 2010) was a Cuban mason, plumber, and political activist and prisoner who died after fasting for more than 80 days.

- Pedro Luis Boitel (1931–1972) was a Cuban poet and dissident who opposed the governments of both Fulgencio Batista and Fidel Castro. In 1961, the regime sentenced him to 10 years in prison. Boitel died during a hunger strike in prison in 1972 while serving a sentence handed down by the communist regime.

==============

le "moteur" des dissidents est assez souvent septennal, et on le retrouve chez les trois cubains dont j'ai trouvé les données chez Wikipédia : c'est ainsi que Guillermo Farinas qui vient d'obtenir le prix Sakharov se trouve dans sa période critique septennale des 49 ans ; Orlando Zapata se trouvait dans sa période critique septennale des 42 ans lors qu'il est décédé des suites de sa grève de la faim, et Pedro Luis Boitel se trouvait lui aussi dans sa période critique septennale des 42 ans lors qu'il est décédé pour les mêmes raisons.
