Check the AP story, published in El Nuevo Herald, here.

Wanna try some dissection?
  • 11 paragraphs / sentences to the officialist speech, led by the least-useful-idiot of Pérez Roque's quotes. Castro's propaganda by the pound, and for free.
  • 4 paragraphs / sentences in reference to the dissidents; not a single quote from the included. Like if the whole Anti Apartheid campaing was non-existent.

Castro's thugs yelled obscenities and hit several times Manuel Benito del Valle Ruiz, who is a Spanish

Word from Babalu Blog that Dr. Darsi Ferrer Ramirez was beaten up by Cuban military forces.
No details available yet.

I know my prayers won't ease his pain, but for Christ's sake, in the distance, we are suffering with him and with all those Cubans that today took the streets of Havana to call for an end to the Cuban apartheid.

CAMBIO
