Rosa Maria Paya, daughter of Oswaldo Paya who died in the car driven by
Spanish activist Angel Carromero and in which Swedish activist Aron Modig was a
passenger, has alleged from the beginning that the car was rammed and driven
off the road by another car. She and
others in Paya’s camp have asserted that there are text messages to that effect
sent from the Europeans’ phones shortly after the accident. In a video statement released by Cuban
authorities just after the accident and later at trial, Carromero made no reference
to another car and said he lost control.
In Cuba and back home in Sweden, Modig has said he was dozing at the
time of the accident.
Rosa Maria Paya is now getting more specific, tweeting
that Modig sent a text saying: “Angel says that a car hit us and drove us off
the road.” She complains
that he continues to omit this in interviews even as he says he wants, as she
paraphrases him, “to bring the truth back.”
Paya refers to this
interview that Modig just gave to a Cuban opposition website based in
Sweden, where he continues to say he was “sleeping before the crash.”
Modig, meanwhile, will soon be active
in our own internal affairs as a volunteer for Governor Romney’s campaign in
Virginia.

so then release the text messages, easy as that, otherwise it just looks like the continuation of efforts to politicize a tragedy. typical from the anti side. same as the wait for yoani to release the photos of her bruises and cuts from being beaten up by security. en el ano que nieve en cuba.
