Dear friends
This year we are commemorating the 40th anniversary of Ernesto Che Guevara’s death in Bolivia. We remind you that 30 years later his remains and companions´ were brought to Cuba. Now they are resting in a special Memorial in Villa Clara Province.
We are summoning to all the friends of Cuba who also have followed the life and work of this unforgettable personality, symbol of the fight against oppression for liberty and symbol of solidarity and internationalism, to join us in an International Brigade to render tribute to this world hero.
One more time, we hope to count on your participation in this International Brigade ¨ XL anniversary of the Death of the Heroic Guerilla, Ernesto Che Guevara ¨
Fraternally,
Asia-Pacific Division. ICAP
