Mothers against repression is a Cuban activist group, M.A.R. por Cuba, based in Miami. It is led by Silvia Iriondo who is a Cuban exile. Following the repression that cubans have gone through for more than four decades, Mothers and Women Anti-Repression (MAR POR CUBA) was founded in 1994 in Miami as a non profit organisation and was formed by a group of women who are committed to working together to help restore fundamental freedoms and rights in Cuba.

Cuban Politics
Cubans have been forced to exile and this is only due to religion and because of religious oppression based on hatred that has existed and still exists in Miami for the Cubans. For many years Cubans or whether it be in Cuba or in Miami have been impressed by religious expression and based on a hatred the Cuban community in Miami has therefore had to play united fronts against the forces of evil anyone who criticises the community presents puts forward a normative attitude and can be labelled as communist and ostracised. A lot remember extreme poverty and recall people blaming Fidel Castro. Many have been executed by Castro is the gene all arrested and awaited execution it was only by fleeing Cuba with the very few things that they had that they were allowed to survive and live but others have spent decades in Cuban prisons this means that many had been separated from family members and have never even met certain family members the many Cubans in Miami everything that is good holy pure true and secret is the auntie's thesis of Castro's Castro and his regime. Scholars of religion has constructed a religious perspective from the margins of the US society and as you point is this viewpoint is disenfranchised sized but flicks argument in Miami having to live in the margins is not necessarily a reality. It is believed that Cuban Americans played an important role in the 2000 presidential election miss means the money Miami Cubans and their strength is not limited to its effect on the foreign policy.

Goals
M.A.R. advocates the respect for human rights. They are “dedicated to promoting democratic values and raising awareness about the Cuban reality, participating in numerous national and international forums to gather solidarity with the Cuban resistance.” They actively contribute to the struggle to achieve a free, democratic and sovereign Cuba. It is the patriotic spirit for the Cuban women that drives and guides the organisation.

The main priorities of M.A.R. are:

• Defending human rights and fundamental freedoms of the Cuban people. • Presenting the Cuban reality before national and international forums. • Collecting solidarity before the international community with the right of the Cuban people to live in freedom. • Supporting internal resistance. • Supporting Cuban political prisoners and their families. • Advocating for measures and sanctions against the Castro regime, aimed at not prolonging its permanence in power and accelerating democratic change in Cuba.

"We, laying waste sterile protagonisms and sterile divisions in order to contribute to achieve the free, democratic and sovereign Cuba for which thousands of Cubans have given their lives or have suffered during their best years the lack of freedom in Castro's prisons, we reaffirm together the following principles:

• We advocate for the change of the system that prevails in Cuba, and not for inserting reforms within it.

• We advocate full freedom and true democracy, the basis of genuine national reconciliation, which does not entail reconciliation with the oppressors and executioners of our people.

• We advocate repealing the illegitimate Communist Constitution of 1976, amended in 1992, which has been the instrument of oppression designed to deny all freedoms and rights to the Cuban people, and to sustain us during the period of democratic transition, in the 1940 Constitution and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations, until a Constituent Assembly establishes the Constitution that is to govern the Republic, within a reasonable period of time.

• We advocate replacing the current one-party totalitarian system with a multi-party and representative system.

• We advocate for Cuba to respect each and every one of the rights recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which Cuba is a signatory.

• We advocate dismantling the repressive apparatus used to subdue and repress the Cuban people.

• We advocate for all the rights of the Cuban people, and for the unconditional release of all political prisoners.

• We advocate the holding of free general elections, and the establishment of a state of law that guarantees legal stability, without revenge and without impunity.

• We advocate for the equal rights of all Cubans-those on the island and those in exile-as one people.

And we reaffirm -to God and to the Fatherland- that we will not rest in this shared commitment until we see the bright sun of freedom peeking through the horizon of our beloved Cuban land, where we will finally find our well-deserved home."

Actions of the organisation
On February 26th, 1996 mothers against oppression along with other organisations convened in front of the US federal courthouse in Miami they demonstrated against the deportation of Cuban refugee Elizabeth Peaster to Venezuela and the US immigration plan to put her on a flight in the morning but a crowd of 200 participants were expected to attend at the US federal courthouse during the demonstration against and return to Venezuela mothers against repression along with other Cuban NGO’s hosted a symposium at the Hyatt Regency hotel in downtown Miami to support the Cuban based, brother organisation, which is known as Concilio Cabana they requested a conference where they would be able to discuss Cuban Government but the Cuban government authorities refuse such and such conference as a result of this the Cuban government proceeded to arrest the leaders of Concilio Cubana and Cuban consular officials in Washington DC as they were accused of having orchestrated the entire affair. By March 22, 1996 that would get your permission organised another demonstration at the immigration and naturalisation headquarters in Miami Florida Sylvia Irian do was the head of this organisation and protests in the deportation of Antonio could pick to Cuba the participation was expected to be a much lower with only 50 participants but they still tried to make an impact. Many other have been organised by the mothers against repression to stop people to stop immigrations from deporting Cubans and other Hispanics to the country where political regimes are still very oppressive. And aim either stop deportation or make people aware of what is going on in the cuban community of Miami and in Cuba. September 2000 mothers and women against repression scheduled two demonstrations in New York City in order to protest the truth participation in the UN millennium Summit and they wanted to call for his arrest the women dressed in black is a symbol of morning for the suffering of the Cuban people and they wanted to show that Castro was guilty for crimes against humanity which include the murder of American citizens. According to Sylvia G. Iriondo, who is the president of mothers and women against repression “there is no end to the inordinate suffering violence and death Castro has inflicted from more than 41 years.” Castro’s regime really is one of the worlds worst documented violated human rights anything condemned nine out of the last 10 years by the UN human rights commission a lot of discipline doctors and human rights activist including Oscar Ellias Biscet human rights activist, former university professor Vladimiro Roca and George Luis Garcia Perez a human rights activist ,are some of Cuba’s most famous political prisoners.

Peer Review by Mdude1296

 * This article needs a huge amount of work to be presented in a way that can be understood. Work must be put into better sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, and word choice. Many parts of this article are unreadable for those said reasons. There are run-on sentences and the use of very strange words that make much of this impossible to understand.
 * Most of this article seems like a story being told. The facts need to be condensed, and presented in a more concise manner. If it is important to present the long history of this NGO, I can suggest that you put it under a "History of M.A.R." paragraph header.
 * Make sure that you have paragraph headers that help structure the article, for example: History, Notable work, Founding, Public criticism, Connections with Castro, Etc.
 * It seems like a lot of the article is about the crises in Cuba. Make sure to condense that information, or link the readers to a page that covers the conflicts and unrest in Cuba, and cover more about M.A.R.
 * Make sure that most of the information presented is about M.A.R., and not the conflicts in Cuba. Of course anything connected to M.A.R. would be great to have included.
 * It is hard to peer review this article in its current state, when most of the information is unreadable. I would love to see some restructuring and formatting of this article, after which I would gladly do another peer review for you. - Malcolm

Peer review by melodycb:

- this article has many grammatical errors, typos, and sentence structure issues. It needs some reviewing.

- there are no sections, there should be a structure that separated the intro, origin, mission, activities etc.

- you could probably do a better job at providing a more neutral presentation of this organization. Avoid sounding like you are making accusations, such as declaring something as hateful and violent.
