Not Making This Up

UN envoy alarmed at Cuba jail allegations

A special U.N. rights envoy expressed alarm on Tuesday at allegations of ill treatment in Cuban jails, but said that a U.S. economic embargo was hampering attempts to improve Cuba’s respect for political rights.
“The extreme tension between Cuba and the United States has created a climate which is far from conducive to the development of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly,” French magistrate Christine Chanet said.

Repression in Cuba is America’s fault.

    Had this article come from the Onion it would have been hilarious. As it represents what may be a widely held opinion, it’s nothing but sad.

    Alon Levy, What do you suggest? I know! Why don’t we send them food, money, heating fuel and technology? After all, that plan worked so well with North Korea.
