“I would like you to do something we’ve never done before. A beautiful man, a doctor, who spent time in the prisons of Cuba, he is also released. His name is Dr. Biscet, I want you to hold him up and let everyone in Cuba know he is special to us and we are watching!”

Bono, cantante de U2, anoche,
tras recordar la causa de Oscar Elías Biscet y la libertad en Cuba.

Anoche, durante el concierto de U2 en Miami, Bono contó la historia del opositor cubano Oscar Elias Biscet. Dedicó una canción a su lucha y proclamó: “one day soon Cuba will be free.” (H/T: Capitol Hill Cubans)
PD: Muchas gracias a quien me envió el video de la canción “Walk On” donde Bono hace —minuto 4: — la referencia a Biscet y a Cuba.
PD2: Aquí la letra de la canción, asociada en el pasado a varias causas de Amnistía Internacional, incluyendo un videoclip con la disidente birmana Aung San Suu Kyi.
PD3: David Hyde comenta el concierto en Sun Sentinel:

My favorite song was “Walk On,” which started with video of a young Aun San Suu Kyi at the start and video of her talking at the end after being freed this year. In mid-song, as people walked around the runway with Amnesty International lamps, Bono sketched the story of Cuban dissident Oscar Elias Biscet and asked everyone to raise their hands in solidarity and proclaim, “one day soon Cuba will be free.”
