He also had a message for human rights defenders abroad and in Cuba:

I send them my best as a political prisoner, who was imprisoned in one of the most dictatorial prisons, and we know that there you have to be very careful with the Cuban [State] Security, because Cuban Security is one of the deadliest ones there is in Cuba, and I’m also sending my greetings to all my brothers and sister throughout the world who have helped me, and those on the island,” Pérez added.
