Since Fidel Castro’s 1959 Revolution, the communist regime of Cuba has deliberately sought to silence those who criticize or threaten the status quo of their dictatorship. Some of these prisoners of conscience have been in jail for over 20 years. Others are continuously arrested detained, released, and rearrested as part of a cycle of intimidation and coercion intended to punish dissidents. During their detainment they are not given access to adequate medical care or family visitation, nor do they receive due process and a fair trial.
The Castro regime insists they hold no political prisoners. They attribute these detentions to common crimes and violations of Cuban law. Yet in 2015 alone, over 8,000 Cubans were detained for “political reasons.” And in January of this year, 1,474 people were detained.
While no one knows the exact number of Cuba’s prisoners of conscience, the following list of 51 prisoners compiled by Directorio represents thousands more who are oppressed and silenced by the repressive Cuban regime. Please take the time to sign and share this Change.org petition calling on the media to cover those who continue to suffer under the oppressive yoke of communism.
I think it’s disgusting that the leader of the free world went to Cuba and took it up the ass. He even brought his own lube. Think how disheartening it was for these poor people that are in prison, or their families.
And to make it as demoralizing as possible, and you know the dissidents were given all the details and images, the scumbag brings his children and wife to do the tourista crap. Taking selfies and stopping in front of the Che Memorial.
Lord Almighty, you oughta just be able to put us in the dustbin of history right along with the old USSR.
I swear if someone, ANYONE were to call for a mass protest to this asshole when he landed coming back, I would drop everything and be there. He is beyond sickening.
Sort of like how we put 18 year old US soldiers in jail for life and let Gitmo goofs free?
We all know whut the Øbamboozler’s son would look like… if he had one.
Now try to imagine if Fidel Castro and Che Guevara had a son!
Yup!
He’d look just like Revrum Wright’s God-Damn America-hating, feckless, jug-eared, dog-eating, Gay-obsessed, Lying/Denying, Treasury-looting, economy-wrecking, elitist, Bullgarian-speaking, Commie-loving, process-circumventing, autocratic, productivity-obstructing, Al-Qaeda appeasing, Benghazi bullshitting, lawless, phoney-baloney, plastic banana republic Marxist Muslim Mallard.
With a catchy slogan:
“Making Communist Dicktators Great Again!”
