Hungerstrike - Blog Posts

🇨🇺 #Cuba from the series of commemorative #FreeCuba I made some mock up #stamps in honor of these brave martyrs who had the guts to fight against the new regime/communist revolution: 1. Pedro Luis Boitel: #politicalprisoner for his ideals. Died under #hungerstrike in jail. 2. Margarito Lanza Flores aka Capitan Tondique: a humble country side agricultural black worker who rebelled against the Castro regime when his farm was intervened due to the so called Agrarian Reform. He was executed after being burnt so badly. Fidel couldn't stand a black poor man rebelling against him. 3. Antonio Tony Chao Flores: a young 20 year old man who rebelled against the Castro regime early on. Was captured and beaten by #Che ( the racist homophobic murderer people wear on tshirts). Then executed at La Cabaña. 4. Zoila Aguila Almeida, knows as the girl of Escambray. She took up arms against the regime and headed a small army. She was so successful at skirmishes, it took a traitor to take her down and her men. She died in the sixties after the savage tortures in Castro's jails and mental hospital known as Mazorra. #Alzados #TheLostWar #postagestamp #philately #filatelia #sellos #todosmarchamos
