The biggest advocates for a free Cuba in Europe are the Czechs. Clearly it’s because they once felt the yoke of communism around their own necks and they haven’t forgotten. God bless them.
Prague was probably the last place on the minds of three Cuban families when they set out from their island home […]

A Castroite kangaroo court in Cuba sentenced independent journalist Oscar Sanchez Madan to four years in prison today. His crime?
A Cuban dissident journalist was arrested, tried and sentenced to four years in prison — all in one day and with no defense attorney — on charges of being a ”pre-criminal social danger,” […]

That’s my message to those upset that Luis Posada Carriles has been freed from jail on bond. This is the UNITED STATES, where you are presumed INNOCENT until proven guilty. This is NOT Castro’s Gulag (AKA Cuba), where:

Even if you are a child, you can be murdered simply for trying to leave […]

Yes, it’s that time of the month again. No, I was talking about yet another plug for the monthly poll: When will Castro die? What did you think I was talking about?

Gotta love Italians.
One in particular–photographer Oliviero Toscani–has opened a new exhibition at the European Union’s parliament building. The exhibit, titled “Forbidden To Think: The Faces Of Cuban Repression,” features huge photos of imprisoned Cuban political dissidents:
“I’m not here to create virtuoso photographs,” (Toscani) said. “In this exhibit, art consists of action applied to the […]

Methinks that’s because of the propaganda value, both to the world and to Cuba’s citizens yearning to be free, of keeping Castro what […]
