In Terms of Human Rights, Nobody Teaches Anything to Cuba

J. Castro Benitez Washington says that it is an example of democracy and of human rights…and then the millions of deaths it caused? It is a country whose governments that have not demonstrated any respect for human rights, a country whose government has almost legalized the practice of torture, a government that represents the humiliation, the disappearance and the slaughter of human beings. And they talk about human rights?

A regime that speaks against the Berlin Wall, but then builds a Wall of Shame on the border with Mexico where the citizens practise armed hunts, like safaris, against the immigrants? Where black citizens still do not have full rights and social integration? And how many Mexicans were murdered? And they speak about human rights?

In terms of human rights, Cuba is an example. It is a country where human rights exist because human rights were and are a basis for the Cuban Revolution. We will have pride tomorrow, because Cuba has demonstrated how to create a model based on human rights.
