Reply #172: CUBA is now COOL cause US has many reports re Death Penalty & WOT abuses?

[blue2helix]

For the U.S., lot's of reports are related to War on Terror justifications and Death Penalty Watches, and I'm not happy about it.

What does that have to do with Cuba????

Also, Cuba is a closed society that controls it's information, if you are not a high profile person, it would be hard to imagine news getting out about your ill treatment. I have spoken to two people who were beaten and imprisoned in Castro's jails - one for trying to escape, and the other for his political beliefs. They were horror stories of living on excrement filled jail floors and regular beatings.


Here is a Human rights watch article detailing how Human rights activists were beaten and imprisoned for their beliefs.
