Cuban Five - Political Prisoners of the Empire

December 10, 2014

Why their human rights are denied?

The Cuban nation has faced a criminal/illegal blockade by the U.S. government since its victorious revolution in 1959. The world just condemned this unprecedented policy at the United Nations by a vote of 188 against 2. As well, Cuba must defend itself from acts of terrorism carried out from U.S. territory which has caused the death of 3478 people and maimed thousands more. All of the inhumane practices by the "gendarme" of the world have not driven the Cuban nation to look after itself alone but sharing its revolution's achievements selflessly with other humble peoples of the world from Palestine to Pakistan, to Guatemala to Sierra Leone toÂ… . THIS is why the Empire is exacting revenge against the symbols of Cuba's sovereignty and internationalism -the anti-terrorist Cuban Five- by denying them their human rights of being with their loved ones!
