Same Old Cuba – by Humberto Fontova

"Cuban dissidents have corroborated accounts of this new repression. 'The wave of repression we witnessed on Dec. 10th is the worst we’ve seen in this country in decades.' reported Elizardo Sanchez, President of the (dissident) Cuban Commission on Human Rights, this December. In a smuggled report, Cuban dissident González Leiva adds that during an attempted march commemorating 'Universal Human Rights Day,' on December 19, hundreds of Cubans were arrested and beaten by regime goons."
