ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise to commemorate this week as
Captive Nations Week. As a Cuban refugee who had to flee my native homeland of Cuba due to
a murderous communist regime, I know how important freedom, democracy,
and respect for human rights are. Captive Nations Week serves as a
reminder that there are millions of people who continue to live under a
brutal, repressive regime. Tomorrow night, on the east steps of the Capitol, I will speak at the
Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation's Captive Nations Week event
called No Che Noche to set the record straight on one of history's most
sadistic murderers, Che Guevara.
