25 August 2005 :

to keep public attention on the plight of political prisoners and the repression of dissent in Cuba two years after the wave of crackdowns, HOC and the ‘Fundació Llibertat i Democràcia’ have promoted an exhibition in Barcelona by Oliviero Toscani entitled ‘FORBIDDEN TO THINK, THE FACE OF REPRESSION IN CUBA’.
The exhibition is held at the Fundación Palo Alto, c. Pellaires, 30-38, and was inaugurated on April 21 in the presence of the designer Javier Mariscal, creator of the exhibition Oliviero Toscani, HOC Secretary Sergio D’Elia, President of the ‘Fundació Llibertat i Democràcia’ Carles Gasóliba.
‘Forbidden to think, the face of repression in cuba’ shows, in Toscani inimitable style, the face of 75 dissidents arrested by Castro’s regime on 18 March 2003 and sentenced to 6 to 28 years of reclusion on charges of treason and political conspiracy.
The show will be open to the public in Barcelona from April 20-26 and will then move on to Madrid, Cádiz, Granada, Valencia and Bilbao.
