“The most beautiful thing is freedom.” These were Zuleni Zamora’s first words after leaving the detention center and hugging her husband and children
“Everything every Cuban has to do is not easy. The only thing the Cuban wants is to be free.”
She spent the end of the year helpless, but something told her which direction to go.
“On December 31 at 12 noon we went to the fireworks in the Gulf of Mexico, it was easy to be guided by the lights.”
The border guard warned of the massive arrival of Cubans
“That weekend, 300 Cubans arrived. Because there is no freedom. Living without freedom is like not living. The Cuban wants to fight for his family, he wants to have the right to everything that the rest of the people have a right to.
Now Zuleni has to fight for a political asylum procedure. If she wins, she could become a resident at that time
She left a country in one of its worst economic crises, with hundreds of political prisoners and, as she describes it, no light at the end of the tunnel.
