Fallece en Florida el disidente cubano Darsi Ferret en circunstancias aún desconocidas 10/7/2017 Nuevo Herald: Update: Dr Ferrer has moved to Miami. His Facebook page is www.facebook.com /darsiferrer. He appears to have changed his last name to Ferret. Darsi Ferrer News The Discourse on Racism in Anti-Castro Publications, 2008-2009 Acting on Our Conscience Briefing Sheet: roadmap for Diaspora support of Miami-backed dissidents Claude Betancourt, 1/2/2010 "This material serves to confirm long standing suspicions that Carlos Moore, the prime mover behind Acting on Our Conscience, has strong ties to the Miami plantocracy and its related allies in federal agencies, however much he might protest this characterization."

Dr Ferrer and his wife, Yusmayni Jorge Soca Dr. Darsi Ferrer/Ferret Ramirez: another manipulated dissident? by Claude Betancourt, 12/20/09 Darsi Ferrer is an AfroCuban dissident who has been championed at least since 2006 by the Miami hard right, including the Directorio Democrático Cubano and Capitol Hill Cubans, which promotes the embargo, something most dissidents on the island are opposed to. His case parallels that of Antúnez, another "civil rights leader" created and developed in a strategy apparently first laid out in 1995 by noted terrorist Jose Basulto, who worked with the Martin Luther King Institute created in Miami by the State of Florida (Spreading King's message, 2/8/1996, Miami Times). As Capitol Hill Cubans points out in presenting the results of a February, 2009 survey, the notion of a "civil rights" struggle against the Castro brothers has a foothold in South Florida:  "When given choices on what would most likely lead to a democratic transition in Cuba in the near future, a plurality of voters chose the death of Fidel Castro as the top response (32%), followed by Barack Obama’s election inspiring a civil rights movement (13%) and a Cuban military coup d’état (12%)." This in a city that was perhaps the only one to be disrespectful towards Nelson Mandela after he emerged from a South African jail (see Mandela Travels to Miami Amid Protests Over Castro  6/21/1990 NYT). The Directorio Democrático Cubano, which promotes Ferrer, is supported by USAID and NED - for example, they provided 89% of its budget in 2002 and received $275,000 in 2008.  The 3 leaders of the Directorio are Javier de Céspedes, Orlando Gutiérrez Boronat, and his wife Janisset Rivero Gutiérrez, who according to the Cuban press are veterans of numerous terrorist and far right campaigns against Cuba. Gutiérrez was a leader of the terrorist/freedom fighter group Organización para la Liberación de Cuba and a supporter of the death squad related ARENA in El Salvador. Other far-right sites supporting Ferrer include BabaluBlog and Marc Masferrer's Uncommon Sense. Masferrer is the great nephew of El Tigre Masferrer, a Cuban paramilitary leader and ally of Batista who went into exile in 1959 and was later jailed in a federal penitentiary for organizing the overthrow of the government of Haiti in order to use it as a base for attacks on Cuba.  Marc gushes over Ferrer: "Ferrer, a medical doctor, human rights activist and journalist, is one of the giants of the struggle for liberty in Cuba, as indicated by if nothing else, the numerous times the Castro dictatorship has tried, and failed, to silence him into submission."  The main thrust of Ferrer's dissidence is the founding of a clinic outside the state run system and his attempts to bring attention to the problems of that system, especially in very poor neighborhoods, where AfroCubans often live. He has not promoted himself as a Black leader, contrary to respected Brazilian scholar and activist Abdias do Nascimento's characterization of him in an open letter to Raul Castro and Lula da Silva, dated October 30, 2009. Many of his Miami supporters do not either, despite the amount of NED funds going to promote the notion of an MLK type "civil rights" struggle in Cuba. Carlos Moore does consistently refer to him as a civil rights and Black leader, as does NaijaBlog but Directorio Democrático Cubano, BabaluBlog, Uncommon Sense, and Capitol Hill Cubans do not. They adhere to the Marti notion that "More than white, more than black, we are Cubans," and avoid placing stress on Blackness, something they are very reluctant to do.   In the literature prior to Carlos Moore and do Nascimento's letters, I could find only one reference to Ferrer himself taking on racism, at El racismo, amenaza subyacente, Por el Dr. Darsi Ferrer. Director del Centro de Salud y Derechos Humanos  8/2/2008. An earlier article, BUCL.org Joins Dr. Darsi Ferrer to Protest Apartheid-Like Policies in Cuba 12/7/2007, mentions Apartheid, but only in the Cuban meaning - the segregation of Cubans from foreigners in tourist facilities, where Cubans are not allowed to go. This is like a more thorough version of the gated resorts so common across the Caribbean. There is not one word in that 2007 article about racism. Dr. Ferrer's recent identification as a black leader seems to come from Carlos Moore and his Brazilian allies. Ferrer himself has not really promoted himself as a black leader or focused, until recently, on issues of racism. Dr. Ferrer sends and receives email via the US Interests Section in Havana. This is not an accusation made by Cuba, but a boast made by his Miami supporters, including Marc Masferrer in Dissident says Cubans "long for change"  9/14/2006 Uncommon Sense. In this he joins a select few, such as Manuel Cuesta Morúa, the secretary general of the Socialist Democratic Current, a US supported dissident movement. Cuesta Morúa is also a descendant of Martín Morúa Delgado, the AfroCuban leader after whom was named the Ley Morúa, which outlawed the Independents of Color and led to the massacre of over 6,000 AfroCubans. It may be hard for Americans to understand what a danger signal such a boast is to many Cubans who have experienced up to 50 years of propaganda warfare designed to subvert their government and sabotage their economy. There is a lot of information available on this history, for example, see Jon Elliston's Psywar on Cuba : The Declassified History of U.S. Anti-Castro Propaganda. It appears likely that Ferrer was beaten by the police after he was arrested, as happens in too many countries - there are photos taken to show this. He was arrested most recently for having stolen construction material - a few bags of cement, which were apparently sitting in plain view for some time prior to the arrest. In a country where these are not available through stores, a great many people acquire "liberated" materials, and this has led to a crackdown on the part of the government. It is certainly possible the government is using this as an excuse to shut up a dissident they view as made in Miami. Dr. Ferrer's wife and son When the right wing web sites talk about brutality in Cuba, most Americans are unaware of the context -- violence of all kind is far less endemic in Cuba than the US. Murder and violent crimes are far fewer and extrajudicial killings by the police are unheard of.  The same cannot be said of Miami or many American cities, where police officers kill Black people in the streets with astonishing regularity -- the event then typically fades into oblivion without any consequences for the officers involved. People can get beaten in Cuba, but not even the fanatical right in Miami can point to instances of extrajudicial executions. One allegation reported in Babalu Blog, Dr. Darsi Ferrer grabbed by castro's goon, 9/1/2006, is that after arresting Ferrer, the police left his young child alone in his house with the gas turned on. Given the lack of American style street justice, this appears somewhat implausible. But then Miami thrives on these kinds of accusations. Ferrer is the subject of a letter from a group of prominent African Americans, organized by Carlos Moore: Acting On Our Conscience - A Declaration of African American Support for the Civil Rights Struggle in Cuba, 12/09, which builds on do Nascimento's letter.  Moore's on-line petition for Darsi Ferrer is at www.petitiononline.com/drferrer/petition.html Nothing about Ferrer is published inside Cuba, in keeping with a policy that minimizes the impact of dissidents promoted by the US, so he is virtually unknown there. That may be why the Cuban press does not publish any letters of protest about him from abroad, nor is he referred to in the Message from Cuba to African American Intellectuals and Artists, which was published widely in response to the Carlos Moore campaign. -- Claude Betancourt, 12/20/09 Note: those interested in researching Ferrer data prior to Carlos Moore's letter campaign and the resulting identification of Ferrer as a black leader may find this difficult given the large number of recent references flooding the Internet. You can use Google's Advanced Search: in the box marked "But don't show pages that have... any of these unwanted words:" put in something like "Carlos Moore" (with quotes). Multiple phrases can be useful there, just enclose each phrase in quotes, unless there is only one word, where you do not need quotes.

Ferrer will try in some way to resume his profession, which he was forced to quit in Cuba "after being expelled from the center where he worked and the authorities refused to let him continue practicing medicine," Rivero said."

Darsi Ferrer llega a Estados Unidos  1/28/2012 Marti Noticias: "Darsi fustigó además el sistema de salud cubano y el papel de potencia médica mundial que se atribuye la isla, sin ningún basamento en la realidad, según declaró. Junto a Ferrer viajaron otros cinco disidentes cubanos, entre ellos Caridad Caballero Batista, representante de las Damas de Blanco en Holguín, y el bloguero independiente Gustavo Pardo."

Black activists launch rare attack on Cuba about racism  1/3/2010 LA Times: "The CIA World Factbook says blacks are 35% of the Cuban population, but many observers say that figure is probably above 60%. (The discrepancies arise from the way the Cuban government counts and classifies race.) The ratio of people of color has grown since the Castros took power, as wealthier whites fled for Miami and elsewhere. The remittances whites sent to families on the island have widened the income gap between Cuba's blacks and whites, said Mark Sawyer, a UCLA political science professor and Cuba expert who signed the document. So has a preference for hiring whites in a tourist industry that has become more important with the collapse of the government-regulated economy, he said. The Castro government has long treated racism as an issue solved by the revolution, which promised equality for all. But despite the Castros' early and overt denunciation of racism, it continues to be a pernicious presence in Cuban daily life. Sawyer offered one example, noting that kinky black hair is commonly referred to as pelo malo, or "bad hair.""

Racist or Revolutionary: Cuba’s Identity is at Stake  12/18/2009 Defenders Online: by Ron Walters - "In the meantime, the Cuban government’s rejection of the concerns expressed by African Diaspora leaders who’ve long supported their revolution only intensifies the sense that it’s not interested in reforming racial practices there. Perhaps government officials believe the push to normalize relations with the U.S. government trumps its longstanding relationship with black Americans. This would waste a tremendous opportunity to complete the goals of fundamental social change envisioned by those who made the revolution, and those who supported it after its initial success."

Makani Themba-Nixon, Praxis Project, withdraws support for the Acting on Our Conscience letter  12/7/2009 AfroCubaWeb: "Certainly, we should have thought this through more carefully when we signed on but my focus was to be of support to the groups involved -- and to aid an individual who was under attack. Unfortunately, this effort is being used by enemies of all of us to attempt to undermine a government whose efforts have proven critical to the uplift of Black people, despite its shortcomings. As a result, I am respectfully asking to withdraw Praxis' name from the letter. I'm not asking that you resend it or make any public statement to this effect. The letter is out and not much to be done about that. We will likely make a statement to friends expressing our love and solidarity for the signers but sharing our decision to pull back. Please feel free to share this note with anyone you deem appropriate."

Reclaman intelectuales de Jamaica a Cuba por encarcelamiento de Darsi Ferrer  12/4/2009 Radio Marti: "En una carta remitida a Raúl Castro, con fecha 26 de noviembre, los académicos Rex Nettleford, Barry Chevannes, Rupert Lewis y Mauren Warner-Lewis, unieron sus voces al pedido de su colega brasileño Abdias Nascimiento, a favor de la libertad de Ferrer, encarcelado desde el pasado julio en Cuba. En la carta, los académicos señalan que "lo que nos sorprende a todos es la mano fuerte del estado contra aquellos que se atreven a expresarse en contra del prejuicio racial continúo en la sociedad", cubana. Añaden que aunque la revolución cubana reclama haber liberado a cubanos blancos y negros de la explotación, lo cierto es que las actitudes, algunas abiertas y otras solapadas, que justificaron siglos de esclavitud de negros africanos, no han cedido con facilidad."

Dr. Darsi Ferrer is a professional, not a criminal as he is described by the Cuban regime, he is a medical graduate, sensitive to the suffering of others and whose only crime has been that, inspired by the example of great men like Dr. Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi, he has employed non-violent methods of civil disobedience to wake up the conscience of the Cuban people and to demand the respect of the fundamental freedoms and rights for all citizens of Cuba."

What is special about the Ibáñez case is that his family’s eviction serves as an attack on freedom of religion.

Los cubanos viven bajo un régimen de apartheid que excluye a todos por igual. Los nacionales no tienen derecho a la participación plena de la vida en el país. Tal es el caso de las regulaciones que les niegan el acceso a determinadas instalaciones y servicios disponibles solo para extranjeros, o las prohibiciones que impiden la creación de empresas privadas, las restricciones a las libertades de opinión, movimiento y asociación, entre otras."

BUCL.org Joins Dr. Darsi Ferrer to Protest Apartheid-Like Policies in Cuba.  12/7/2007 Business Wire: "In Cuba, apartheid is not racial, but political," says Henry Gomez of BUCL. "The political system keeps foreigners and Cubans separate. For instance, many public accommodations that are open to tourists and high-level Communist bureaucrats are off limits to everyday Cubans." ...Regarding Cuba's current system, Dr. Ferrer states, "The current constitution supposedly recognizes the rights and freedoms of the Cuban people. The penal code characterizes apartheid as a felony. In practice, both are systematically violated by the established public policy." Dr. Ferrer continued, "People around the world were horrified with the ghettos of South Africa. It is time to condemn the apartheid suffered by the Cuban people."
