Post is considering two possibilities to promote the May 21
"Day of Solidarity with Cuba." The first is cooperation with
and assistance to a Cuban dissident, Bertha Antunez, who
plans to visit Lithuania May 7. Assistance, if needed,
could include arranging for media interviews or meeting with
relevant NGOs or GOL officials. The second possibility is to
work with a local NGO to create a public program to express
solidarity with the people of Cuba, including an emphasis on
some of the parallel hardships faced by the people of
neighboring Belarus.
