"I dedicate this prize to those who are keeping me in prison, to remind them I'm not alone." - Danilo Maldonado "El Sexto", winner of the Václav Havel International Prize for Creative Dissent
Danilo Maldonado "El Sexto", a Cuban artist unjustly imprisoned since December 26, 2014 for wanting to engage in a performance art piece was honored today at the 2015 Oslo Freedom Forum with the Václav Havel International Prize for Creative Dissent 2015. Since Danilo was unable to attend due to his present arbitrary detention, Lia Villares received the prize on his behalf, played the Porno para Ricardo video calling for his freedom and read a letter sent by Danilo for the occasion.
"El Sexto" dedicated the Havel Prize to the Ladies in White, his daughter, imprisoned independent journalist Angel Santiesteban and other artists persecuted by the Cuban government. Danilo also wrote: "I dedicate this prize to those who are keeping me in prison, to remind them I'm not alone."
