On This International Human Rights Day

PUBLICADO PARA HOY 11 DE DICIEMBRE

BY: CAPITOL HILL CUBANS


The Castro regime is determined to show it's one of the world's worst offenders.

Last night, over 50 of the Ladies in White marched to commemorate International Human Rights Day.

In one of the most appalling irony's of the year, upon arriving at Martin Luther King Park in Havana, the Ladies were confronted by a regime mob -- they were harassed and physically assaulted.

Thus, leaving it clear -- once again -- where the Castro regime stands on the issue of human rights and dignity.

Meanwhile, 11 of the 52 political prisoners announced for release in July remain imprisoned (two month's past the November 7th deadline) because they refuse to accept forced exile as a pre-condition.

And Cuban Cardinal Jaime Ortega is apparently on vacation.

UPDATE: A repressive crackdown on dissent has consumed the island. Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez is compiling a list of all those activists arrested this morning, including Darsi Ferrer and Jorge Luis Garcia Perez "Antunez."
