Hi Roger,
I do not have specifics here but I did hear numerous news reports that prior to
Obama's visit to Cuba, some who opposed the Castro government were arrested.
Are you saying that we were lied to?
Obviusly, the US and our media are biased. But, what I do know is that there is
a long history of Cubans defecting since 1959 including many who have risked
life and limb to escape Cuba.
Just as I am skeptical of the things our government says positively about how
our people are treated, I am equally skeptical of the Castro government.
I am pleased to see that the US is finally moving away from it's wrong-headed
policies that have lasted for almost 60 years.

Castro on Obama’s visit to Cuba
On a news report during Obama's visit I heard American reporter ask Raul about
the political prisoners. Raul said, give me a list of the political prisoners.
I will release them tonight. He was not given a list. So who are all these
political prisoners? Where are they being held?

Hi Roger,
No doubt that "the empire" as Fidel calls the US has acted badly toward Cuba
and many others. But, given Cuba's history of holding political prisoners,
his words ring a bit hollow to me.
Just as the United States is hypocritical when complaining about the human
rights records of other nations, Cuba is equally hypocritical.
