29. Cut the bull
I don't think you have read any AI reports, otherwise you wouldn't make such claims.

Sure there are things to criticize, but to say that it's one of the worst records shows total lack of sense of proportion. Most importantly, to which AI does not pay attention to because of its strict apolitical impartiality, most causes of criticism against Cuba are directly linked to the continuous destabilation efforts by the big bad neighbour. That does not justify the possible overreactions by Cuban governement, but makes them understandable.

There is no comparison between Cuba and those US puppet regimes where paramilitaries are allowed (and encouradged by US) to run their murdorous amok in the interests of corporate oligarchy.

On the other hand, in the area of social rights Cuba beats most if not all countries in the Western Hemisphere, if Human Development Index is to be believed.
