Dear Norwegians:

One does not assassinate the peoples of a country merely by chance.

The imprisonment, the disappearances, the tortures and all the malignity that is engendered by a vile person against a whole country require premeditation. This scornful behavior is due to an accumulated hatred against all that is beautiful and humane. It is necessary to feel a similar hatred to have an idol such as Fidel Castro.

But we see that parliamentarian Hallgeir Langeland prefers the current publicity and the favors he might receive from Castro over his victim's sincere thanks.

To ruin our country, Cuba, has been extremely easy for Castro as has the waging of war in 33 other countries. He has done this gladly because it is easier than doing good and truthful deeds.

The so-far documented 97,582* deaths - direct victims of Castro's reign of terror - cannot be a mirage. Do not be confused by the analysis and the thoughts of the obviously uninformed Mr. Langeland and please bring down Fidel Castro from the Nobel Prize pedestal.

It is of the utmost importance to Cuban victims of Castro that the nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize begin in the right place and this year must be focused on the Cuban jails. Place another nominee instead, there are thousands of dignified persons on our planet worthy of a great respect.

Thanking you in advance,

Carlos Wotzkow
