During Castro’s rule, thousands of Cubans were incarcerated in abysmal prisons, thousands more were harassed and intimidated, and entire generations were denied basic political freedoms. Cuba made improvements in health and education, though many of these gains were undermined by extended periods of economic hardship and by repressive policies.
“As other countries in the region turned away from authoritarian rule, only Fidel Castro’s Cuba continued to repress virtually all civil and political rights,” said José Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch. “Castro’s draconian rule and the harsh punishments he meted out to dissidents kept his repressive system rooted firmly in place for decades.” (more here).
Those who managed to escape, fled to Florida.

City Of Miami Sponsors ‘Anti-Communist Concert’ Following Bernie Sanders’ Defense Of Fidel Castro
By: Daily Caller, February 25, 2020:
Following Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ comments Sunday defending Fidel Castro, the city of Miami’s elected officials responded by officially sponsoring an anti-communist concert scheduled for April.
Sanders said during a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday night on CBS that he opposed “the authoritarian nature” of the Cuban regime, but that it was “unfair to simply say everything is bad.” (RELATED: Bernie Sanders Doubles Down On Castro Comments By Defending Communist China)
An ‘anti-communist concert’ is coming to Miami. The city’s government is a sponsor.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Commissioner Joe Carollo don’t agree on much these days, but they were in lockstep Monday in promoting an “anti-communist concert” set for April 11 at the James L….
Additional money raised through the concert will go to the nonprofit Cuban Democratic Directorate, which aid political prisoners in Cuba and their families, the Miami Herald reported.

“One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”……GREAT movie !!!!
Sanders said during a “60 Minutes”that aired Sunday night on CBS that he opposed “the authoritarian nature” of the Cuban regime, but that it was “unfair to simply say everything is bad.
That’s stupid. I didn’t know he is stupid.
He is a mormon. His supporters are morons. All marxist/socialists are morons. That is why they are who they are, extremely dumb and evil.
For a moment, I thought Bernie became a Mormon, but I got it after.
Sorry for typo. But there is mormon-moron too.
No need to apologize, I do it all the time.
I know a few Mormons who have and will vote for Trump. IT’S THE PERSON, NOT THEIR IDEOLOGY unless of course, you are satanic. Then, THAT IS WHO YOU ARE, but even that can change if you are humble and or NOT A USEFUL IDIOT like Bernie supporters.
The numbers:
1.5 million Cuban Americans living in Florida.
29 electoral votes in Florida
Conclusion: Sanders is a moron
He is worse than a commie. He is a Jew hating. Anti-American , islam supporting scum. Re-Elect Trump again if America has to be saved from becoming another Left/liberal garbage country like EU/UKistan
Sharia Police in Uk are not willing to protect those who speak truth about islam http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/uk-sharia-police-wont-protect-jihadi-victims/
Instead go after those who expose the jihadi crimes and oppose their Left/Liberal supporters !
I like EUkistan. Congrats.
Bernie just lost the Jewish vote. Hopefully, self respecting Jews will ditch him as well. Bernie will get that all important arab vote. Bernie is a moron.
I think he just lost the Cuban vote in Miami. I doubt he will lose the Jewish vote in Miami Beach. They are Marxists first and self-loathing Jews second.
Jews are smarter then that and will NOT vote for self hating Bernie
It has yet to be seen.
There are MORE conservative JEWISH groups than you know out there.
Sorry, but God himself is moving on the Jewish people in America to support Trump.
NOT ALL OF THEM. There are a lot of Jews that live in Boca Raton. THEY ARE TRUMP SUPPORTERS and very, very WEALTHY. Jews are coming around and I believe there are MORE OF THEM than there are Trump haters. They just don’t go around bragging about it or even sharing that with anyone. THEY JUST DO LIKE THE REST OF US AND GO VOTE FOR WHOM **THEY WANT**, NOT WHAT THEIR SPECIAL JEWISH GROUP TELLS THEM.
Trump will not only win by a landslide, HE WILL WIN WITH MORE JEWISH AND BLACKS VOTES THAN IN ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY.
This is so fabulous! Don’t ya just love…Love…LOVE!!! good news?!
World would be a better place without marxist/socialist scum.
The commie rat just lost Florida for sure. Good!
Bernie may appear to be a fool but he is building a dedicated base that intends to steal the election of 2020.

I grew up in the Cold War – i never thought i’d see the day where anyone in this country would embrace socialism unless they were a spy – Read the communist manifesto and Marxs numbered points and see how far its advanced in this country –
My poor dad is spinning in his grave.
This was indeed, an exceptional article!. THANK YOU, PAM! When you provide extended evidence of information to back what you say, YOU WILL KEEP ME AS A READER AND SUPPORTER.
CUBA PROVES THAT SOCIALISM AND/OR COMMUNISM DESTROYS PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES!
AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A SOCIALIST COUNTRY!
