:44:00
are you aware of Article 243
in the Penal Code?
:44:05
Yes.
:44:07
And what does Article 243
of the Penal Code state?
:44:11
It states that no assembly
of over three people is allowed.
:44:15
And yet, you had an assembly
of over 20 people at your home
:44:20
on the night of July 10th.
:44:21
What were you doing?
:44:23
It was a poetry reading.
:44:25
Whose poetry?
:44:27
My own--
others.
:44:30
And are you sure that
this was a poetry reading
:44:34
and not just an
opportunity to recite
:44:36
counterrevolutionary
propaganda?
:44:39
Yes, I'm sure.
:44:40
Mr. Correa, is poetry
ever propaganda?
:44:46
I suppose it could be.
:44:48
But not your poetry.
:44:51
No.
:44:53
Mr. Correa, who else
was present
:44:57
at this so-called
poetry reading?
:45:01
Some friends,
other writers.
:45:04
Tell me, does the name
José Lezama Lima ring a bell?
:45:09
Virgilio Piñera?
:45:11
Your wife, Fina?
:45:14
Yes.
:45:15
Were they there?
:45:17
Yes, they were there.
:45:19
Are you aware
that Lezama Lima
:45:22
and Virgilio Piñera
are homosexuals?
:45:26
Yes.
:45:38
I am aware of my errors.
:45:45
that are unpardonable,
:45:47
errors that demand
to be severely punished.
:45:52
But I must confess
that I see before me
:45:55
in this room,
:45:57
the faces of many comrades
who like me,
