During the month of September, the Cuban Commission for Human Rights (CCHR) documented the arrest of at least 90 dissidents, albeit for short detention periods. This stands in stark contrast to 15 political prisoners released and banished to Spain during the same period.
Thus far, in 2010, 1,220 dissidents have been arrested by the Castro regime. This stands in even starker contrast to 39 political prisoners released and banished to Spain during the same period.
Furthermore, over the weekend, a dissident family (including a 9 year-old child) in the eastern city of Guantanamo was violently repressed by a large government-sanctioned mob, which impunely assaulted their home for over 24 hours (in order to prevent a meeting of opposition groups).
And, as we posted Sunday, two members of the Ladies in White's organization were brutally beaten (again) by the Cuban authorities -- see picture below.
Yet, none of these items have been covered in any way, shape or form by the English-speaking media. They are apparently too busy on stories about guayaberas and banishments.
