1 | Cuba: Bloggers React to Death of Hunger Striker | Kiobà: Naneho Hevitra Momba Ny Fahafatesanà Mpitokona Tsy Hihinan-kanina Ireo Mpitoraka Bilaogy |
2 | Wilman Villar Mendoza | Izy no antsoina hoe Wilman Villar Mendoza |
3 | It has been a sad day for the Cuban blogosphere, as netizens received news of the death [es] of political prisoner Wilman Villar Mendoza, who had been on a hunger strike since last November. | Andro nampahonena teo amin'ny tontolon'ny mpitoraka blaogy Kiobana tamin'izay, raha naharay vaovao ireo mpiondana aterineto mikasika ny nahafatesan'ilay [es] gadra politika antsoina hoe Wilman Villar Mendoza, izay nanao fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina tamin'ny volana novambra farany teo. |
4 | Many bloggers likened his situation to that of the late prisoner of conscience Orlando Zapata Tamayo, who died in 2010, the first Cuban political prisoner to die on hunger strike since 1972. | Mpitoraka blaogy maro no nampitaha an'io trangan-javatra io tamin'i Orlando Zapata Tamayo, ilay olona voafonja farany teo nohon'ny fanehoany ny heviny, izay namoy ny ainy tamin'ny taona 2010. Izy no teratany Kiobana gadra politika voalohany indrindra namoy ny ainy nohon'ny fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina nanomboka tamin'ny taona 1972. |
5 | Diaspora blogger Uncommon Sense made the link very clear: | Mazava tsara ny fampitahana nataon'ilay mpitoraka any am-pielezana, Uncommon Sense: |
6 | Like Orlando Zapata and Juan Soto, his blood is on the hands of the Castro dictatorship. | Toa an'i Orlando Zapata sy Juan Soto, dia feno ny ràny ny tanan'ny fitondrana jadon'i Castro. |
7 | And like those martyrs, he will never be forgotten. | Ary toy ireny maritiora ireny, dia tsy ho adino velively izy. |
8 | He also linked to a statement from The Coalition of Cuban American Women, detailing “the death of political prisoner Wilman Villar Mendoza and how the dictatorship has responded with more repression.” | Nampifandraisiny tamin'ilay fanambaràna avy amin'ny Fivondronan'ireo vehivavy Kiobana sy Amerikana izay maneho amin'ny antsipirihany ny “nahafatesan'ilay gadra politika Wilman Villar Mendoza sy ny fomba namalian'ilay mpanao didy jadona izany tamin'ny alalan'ny faneriterena bebe kokoa.” |
9 | Several bloggers at babalu also commented on Mendoza's death. | Nilaza ny fomba fijeriny mikasika ny nahafatesan'i Mendoza ihany koa ireo mpitoraka blaogy maro tao babalu. |
10 | Val Prieto made the point that the dissident's death “wasn't solely about the usurption [sic] of his rights and freedoms…about the injustice and indignity unleashed upon him”: | Nanamarika i Val Prieto fa ny fahafatesan'io mpanohitra io dia “tsy nohon'ny fanesorana [sic] ny zony sy ny fahalalahany miteny fotsiny ihany…fa nohon'ny tsy rariny sy ny fanosihosena azy”: |
11 | Wilmar Villar Mendoza…on hunger strike for 50 days protesting his incarceration and the abject violation of his basic rights and freedoms, died yesterday at the hands of the Cuban government. | Namoy ny ainy omaly teo an-tanan'ny governemanta Kiobana i Wilmar Villar Mendoza…raha nanao fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina nandritry ny 50 andro ho fanehoany ny hatezerany tamin'ny nampidirana am-ponja azy sy ny fanosihosena ny zony amin'ny mahaolona sy ny fahalalahany miteny. |
12 | He was 31 years of age. | 31 taona izy. |
13 | Wilmar Villar Mendoza died a hero, not only because of his courage to stand against the Goliath of the castro regime for his convictions, but because of the steadfast dignity of his sacrifice. | Maty toy ny olona mahery fo i Wilmar Villar Mendoza, izany dia tsy nohon'ny fahasahiany nifanatrika tamin'i Goliata ao amin'ny fanjakan'i castro nohon'ny fiziriziriany amin'ny heviny fotsiny ihany, fa nohon'ny hasarobidin'ny sorona nataony tsy am-pihambahambana. |
14 | Wilmar Villar Mendoza sacrificed and died so that 11 million of his fellow Cubans could be free of the very tyranny that killed him. | Nanao sorona ny tenany i Wilmar Villar Mendoza ka namoy ny ainy mba hahafahan'ny kiobana mpiray tanindrazana aminy hiala amin'ny tsy refesi-mandidy nataon'ireo namono azy. |
15 | Alberto de la Cruz shared “a brief moment of clarity” about the hunger striker's death: | Nanome fanazavana “nandritry ny fotoana fohy” i Alberto de la Cruz mikasika ny nahafatesan'ilay mpitokona tsy hihinan-kanina: |
16 | As it happened upon the murders of Zapata Tamayo, Soto, and Pollan, for a brief moment, the assassination of Wilmar Villar Mendoza tore down the facade and the lies of the Castro dictatorship that has as acted as their shield for so many decades. | Tahaka izay efa nitranga tamin'ny famonoana an'i Zapata Tamayo, Soto, ary Pollan, tao anatin'ny fotoana fohy, nandrodana tanteraka ny endrika ivelany sy ny lainga nafafin'ny fitondrana jadon'i Castro nataony ho manda fiarovana nandritry ny ampolon-taona maromaro io famonoana an'i Wilmar Villar Mendoza io . |
17 | It may not last long - perhaps hours, maybe days - but for the moment, the Castro dictatorship is exposed. | Mety tsy haharitra ela izany - mety ho ora maromaro, na mety ho andro maromaro - fa amin'zao fotoana aloha, dia mibaribary ny didy jadona ataon'i Castro. |
18 | Perhaps as early as tomorrow, this moment of clarity will dissolve and the lies will return to subjugate the truth. | Nefa mety rahampitso dia rahampitso ihany dia hanjavona io fahamarinana io ary ho resin'ny lainga ny marina. |
19 | Not because this clarity is too weak or a fleeting moment, but because the world will close its eyes and turn away from the unpleasant truth. | Tsy hoe marefo loatra akory ny marina na koa hoe tsy maharitra, fa tsy te-hanokatra ny masony ny olona satria te-hanadino io fahamarinana mahatsiravina io. |
20 | Nevertheless, for now, Wilmar Villar Mendoza's death is not in vain: for a brief moment, there is clarity in Cuba. | Na teo aza izany, ankehitriny, dia hita fa nisy zavatra nivoitra tamin'ny nahafatesan'i Wilmar Villar Mendoza: nandritry ny fotoana fohy, dia nivoaka ny marina tao Kioba. |
21 | The blog went on to detail reports of “how peaceful human rights activists on the island took to the streets to honor Wilmar's ultimate sacrifice for freedom and liberty in Cuba”, adding: “These protestors were immediately met by Castro State Security who violently attacked and arrested several of them.” | Ilay bilaogy dia nanao tatitra milaza ny antsipirihany mikasika ny “fidinana an-dalam-be nataon'ireo mafàna fo mpiaro zon'olombelona am-pilaminana mba hanomezam-boninahitra ilay sorona lehibe indrindra nataon'i Wilmar hikatsahana ny fahafahana sy ny fahalalahana ao Kioba”, nampiany hoe : “notsenain'ireo mpiandraikitra ny fandriam-pahaleman'ny fanjakan'i Castro avy hatrany ireo mpanohitra ireo ka tonga dia notafihany an-kerisetra sy nosamboriny ny maro tamin'izy ireo.” |
22 | Pedazos de la Isla explained why Wilman Villar Mendoza must not be forgotten: | Nanazava ny antony tsy tokony hanadinoana an'i Wilman Villar Mendoza i Pedazos de la Isla: |
23 | I have heard various people say that a hunger strike is a form of suicide, but I do not believe that. | Naheno olona nilaza aho hoe ny fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina dia karazana famonoan-tena, saingy tsy mino izany aho. |
24 | The only one at fault for his death is the dictatorship. | Ilay mpanao didy jadona irery ihany no diso tamin'ny nahafatesany. |
25 | It was that same dictatorship which arrested Mendoza during November of 2011 when he, along with other activists, peacefully marched down the streets of Contramaestre demanding freedom. | Io mpanao didy jadona io no mbola nisambotra an'i Mendoza tamin'ny volana Novambra 2011, raha iny izy nilahatra am-pilaminana niaraka tamin'ireo mafàna fo hafa namany teny amin'ny lalana Contramaestre nikatsaka fahafahana. |
26 | And it was that same dictatorship which paid no attention to Wilman's just demands to be liberated, which led to his hunger strike. | Ary mbola io mpanao didy jadona io ihany no tsy niraharaha ny fangatahan'i Wilman mba hamotsotra azy ka nahatonga azy hitokona tsy hihinan-kanina. |
27 | I did not know Wilman Villar Mendoza personally, but when a person puts their own life at risk for the well being of others, and in this case, for the freedom of an entire nation, then that says a lot about a person. | Tsy tena mahafantatra tsara an'i Wilman Villar Mendoza aho, fa matoa ny olona iray manao sorona ny tenany ho an'ny fiadanan'ny hafa, ary eto amin'ity tranga ity, dia ho an'ny fahafahan'ny firenena iray manontolo, ary dia manambara zavatra maro mikasika olona iray izany. |
28 | The young Cuban, who leaves behind a wife and two young children, joins the list of so many executed, tortured, and beaten men and women, and also of many who have lost their lives on hunger strike as well. | Mampitombo isa ny lisitr'ireo lehilahy sy vehivavy novonoina, nampijaliana ary nokapohina ilay tovolahy teratany Kiobana iray izay namela ny vadiny sy ny zanany kely anankiroa, ary nanampy ny lisitr'ireo izay namoy ny ainy nohon'ny fitokonany tsy hihinan-kanina. |
29 | He is another Orlando Zapata Tamayo, another Pedro Luis Boitel- two Cubans who, although living in different generations, fought for the same exact cause and died the same way, in horrid conditions but with honor. | Izy dia Orlando Zapata Tamayo, sy Pedro Luis Boitel hafa ihany koa - teratany Kiobana izy roa ireo, izay niaina tamin'ny taranaka roa samihafa nefa niady ho aminà tanjona iray ary maty tamin'ny fomba nitovy, niaritra fepetra mahatsiravina nefa kosa tamim-boninahitra. |
30 | Bloggers were also outraged by the manner in which Mendoza's family was being treated. | Tohina tamin'ny nanaovana ny fianakavian'i Mendoza ireo mpitoraka bilaogy. |
31 | Pedazos de la Isla noted that “his wife has not even been able to see his body as of Thursday night”, and @Yoani Sanchez posted on Twitter [es] that: | Nanamarika i Pedazos de la Isla fa “tsy afaka nijery ny fatiny akory ny vadiny ny Alakamisy alina”, ary nilaza i @Yoani Sanchez tao amin'ny Twitter [es] hoe: |
32 | #cuba I spoke with Maritza Wilmar Villar's wife and she confirms his death. | #kioba Niresaka tamin'ny vadin'i Maritza Wilmar Villar aho ary nanamarina an'io fahafatesan'ny vadiny io izy. |
33 | They have not let her see the body. | Tsy navelan'izy ireo nijery ny fatiny izy. |

35 | Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter said: | Fanamarihana avy amin'ny Cuban Exile Quarter no nilaza hoe: |
36 | Tonight two little girls lost their father; a young wife her husband; and a mother her son. | Anio dia zazavavy kely anankiroa no namoy ny rainy; vehivavy iray no namoy ny vadiny; ary renim-pianakaviana iray no namoy ny zanany lahy. |
37 | Wilmar Villar Mendoza died tonight after his kidneys and other organs failed. | Maty io alina io i Wilmar Villar Mendoza raha tsy nahazaka azy intsony ny ‘voa'-ny sy ny taova hafa tao aminy. |
38 | He died the result of a prolonged hunger strike provoked by outrage over a profound injustice committed against him by the Castro regime. | Maty nohon'ny fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina nataony izy vokatry ny fanalam-baraka sy fanaovana ny tsy rariny nihatra taminy izay nataon'ny fanjakan'i Castro. |
39 | The blog also made the point that: | Nanao izao fanamarihana izao koa io bilaogy io: |
40 | There was little press coverage or official protests regarding his plight until his death appeared imminent. | Kely ihany ny fandrakofana an-gazety sy hetsi-panoherana ofisialy nijerena ny zavatra nanjo azy talohan'ny nipoiran'ny marina mikasika ny nahafatesany. |
41 | Ladies in White and other opposition activists marched and demonstrated on his behalf suffering brutal beatings and detentions but the international press remained silent. | Vehivavy maro niakanjo fotsy ary ireo mafàna fo hafa, mpanohitra maro no nidina an-dalam-be sy nanao hetsika tamin'ny anarany niaritra endrika famonoana mahery vaika sy fanenjehana ary fisamborana, saingy nangina teo anatrehan'izany ny mpanao gazety iraisam-pirenena. |
42 | Now that he has died, as was done in the case of Orlando Zapata Tamayo in 2010, the international media is reporting it. | Ankehitriny efa maty izy, toy ny nanjo an'i Orlando Zapata Tamayo tamin'ny taona 2010, vao mitatitra izany ny haino aman-jery iraisam-pirenena. |
43 | Too little and too late for Wilmar Villar Mendoza. | Tsy misy dikany ary tara loatra ho an'i Wilmar Villar Mendoza izany. |
44 | Bloggers and activists on twitter had alerted the world early on about his plight. | Mpitoraka bilaogy sy ireo mafàna fo tao amin'ny twitter no efa nampandre ny tany tontolo mikasika ny zavatra nanjo azy. |
45 | Pedazos de la Isla, Uncommon Sense, Babalu, and Capitol Hill Cubans deserve special mention for getting the word out on their respective blogs. | Mendrika ny ho marihana manokana ny Pedazos de la Isla, Uncommon Sense, Babalu, ary Capitol Hill Cubans noho ny namoahan'izy ireo ny teny tany anatin'ny bilaoginy tsirairay avy. |
46 | When confronting a brutal totalitarian dictatorship there is a very simple equation: silence = violence = death. | Rehefa miatrika fitondrana tsy refesi-mandidy mahery setra mpanao jadona, fimiràna tsotra no mitoetra: fahanginana = herisetra = fahafatesana. |
47 | International official protests and heightened press scrutiny on behalf of brutalized dissidents means less bloodshed. | Midika fampihenana ny rà mandriaka ny fanoherana ofisialy iraisam-pirenena sy ny fanadihadian'ny mpanao gazety mikasika ireo mpanohitra ny fanjakana niharan'ny herisetra. |
48 | Silence means that Maritza Pelegrino Cabrera, Wilman's wife, is now a widow and his two young daughters ages 5 and 6 will not get to grow up having a father. | Ny fahanginana dia midika fa i Maritza Pelegrino Cabrera, vadin'i Wilman, dia mananon-tena ankehitriny ary ireo zanany vavy kely 5 sy 6 taona dia tsy afaka hiara-lehibe amin'ny rainy intsony. |
49 | babalu published and translated a powerful statement on Mendoza's death from one of Cuba's most high-profile bloggers, Yoani Sanchez: | Namoaka sy nandika tamin'ny teny hafa ilay fanambarana manan-danja mikasika ny nahafatesan'i Mendoza izay nataon'i Yoani Sanchez, iray amin'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy manana ny lanjany ao Kioba i babalu : |
50 | I want to denounce that in my country, people have to use their bodies, their intestines, their stomachs as a battlefield, as as a way to mount a civic protest. | Tiako ho ampangaina fa eto amin'ny fireneko, tsy maintsy manao sorona ny tenany, ny tsinainy, ny vavoniny ny vahoaka ho toy ny tany fiadiana, ho fomba iray hananganana hetsi-bahoaka. |
51 | It is very lamentable that an entire population - 11-million Cubans on this island - has had all their rights as citizens taken away or limited. | Tena mampahonena ny hoe vahoaka iray manontolo - Kiobana miisa 11-tapitrisa eto amin'ny Nosy - no noverezin-jo amin'ny maha-olom-pirenena azy na noferan-jo. |
52 | The civic, electoral, and judicial avenues for citizens to seek change, to demand a transformation, to demand the end of the status quo in our country has been blocked. | Nosakanana ny làlana amin'ny maha-olom-pirenena, araka ny fifidianana, na araka ny lalàna tsy ho an'ireo mponina mitaky fiovana sy mitaky fitsaharan'ny fangejana eto amin'ny fireneny. |
53 | What do we have left? | Inona sisa izany no azontsika atao? |
54 | Well, the people then must use hunger strikes as a way to express their nonconformity. | Noho izany, dia tsy maintsy manao fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina ny vahoaka hanehoany ny tsy hafaliany. |
55 | It is very sad what has happened today, the death of Wilmar Villar. | Tena nampalahelo ny zava-niseho androany, ny fahafatesan'i Wilmar Villar. |
56 | That is the denouncement I wanted to make. | Izay no fiampangàna tiako natao. |
57 | Perhaps it is just like a bottle thrown into the sea, something that falls into an abyss, but…I want to leave constancy of this. | Toy ny tavoahangy natsipy any anaty ranomasina izany, toy ny zavatra latsaka any anaty lavaka be iray , fa…aleo angamba ajanoko hatreo. |
58 | Please, we do not want to continue utilizing our skin, our bones, as a way to show our outrage. | Miangavy re, tsy te-hanolotra ny hoditray sy ny taolanay intsony izahay ho fanehoana ny fahasorenanay e. |
59 | We have to have the right to do it without repression. | Tokony hanana zo hanao izany tsy misy faneriterena izahay. |
