About a week ago, the news started to spread that the Cuban government was planning to release prominent political prisoners against their refusal to be freed, unless the castro's thugs agreed to release the sick prisoners first.
Angel Moya -one of castro's worst fears- was one of them and Alberto de la Cruz, from Babalu Blog, interviewed him over the phone.
In it, he describes how he was forcibly removed from prison, dressed in a police car and dumped in his apartment in Alamar, where the gov't thugs from the Rapid Response Brigades (in-your-face philosophy, remember?) held a repudiation act against him and his family.

UPDATE:
Oh, my!!! I SO need to get back on track!
Penultimos Dias has great compilation on the WikiLeaks and the Cuban Conexion, both in English and Spanish. Here.
I couldn't help the urge to share! Masterfully brought to us by Alfredo Pong:
Yeah, I feel sorry for those flies...
"Let's talk once and for ever, you exiles!"
"The mask...is it for Halloween or for Wikileaks?"
I am hopelessly tired to see what’s going on in my native homeland and desperate to see how my adopted-homeland is being forced down the same path by the Obama administration and its enablers.
The progressives, Socialistoids, Marxists and Communists-in-the-making that are wrecking the United States are working overtime to erase the word FREEDOM from our lives.
Everything is a take-over by the government.
Everything is a power-grab orchestrated by the most corrupt claque of politicians that I’ve ever seen in my life – after (c)astro’s nomenklatura. Or are they even?
Pretty soon, our earth-conscious, organic and recycled toilet paper will come imprinted with THE words: “We The People”.
This is just too painful to witness and honestly, I find it harder and harder to cope.
However, it is on those worst days when something happens and, bang! I hit the floor and that makes me put every thing in perspective.
The plea of the Ladies in White is one of those things that are able to ground me, in a New York minute.

I have no right to feel tired. I have no right to say I am saddened by the USA’s current political circus. I have no right to complain. I should just shut up and keep talking, blogging, Twittering, marching, speaking with regular people and ét al.
Because when I look back to my oppressed native homeland, those women are experiencing things a gazillion times worse that my conservative, common-sense fatigue. What on earth am I complaining for?
They are dragged and pulled by their hair. They are assaulted by Nazi-like pro-government mobs.
Ladies in White / Damas de Blanco: Seven years has passed since their sons, husbands, brothers and fathers were sent to prison for having the courage to dissent.
And we're blessed that - so far - here in America, we still have, love and defend freedom. (Whether we're gonna be able to preserve it for our children is... well... that's another ball game).
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers announced today he will join another 11 states in a lawsuit against the federal health care power grab - I mean, reform - passed by Congress last Sunday.
They have also posted a poll where, so far, 57.19% of respondents have answered "Yes!" to the question: "Colorado Attorney General John Suthers says Colorado will sue the federal government to block federal health care legislation." Would you support this lawsuit?
In case that you haven't noticed that health care bill monstruosity (that it is not true reform by any means), came with an attached tail for... students loans.
Yep. The goverment not only will own you health care choices, now they will also own your student loan choices, since this legislation kicks out the option to have private lenders.
When will the government stop trying to own ALL your choices in life? That's a very good question, and you may start going to get clues for your answer from places like... Cuba? Or North Korea?
Sorry to break the good news, but there is never such a thing as a free lunch:
2- The Pell Grant Program, which is one of the best financial aid programs for low income students that can not afford to pay full tuition - and I can testify that because I was one of its recipients when I did my master at FIU - will also be reduced. The program already have an estimate 18-19 billion deficit.
Now, for all that Marxists in the making, Che-lovers and Obama's blind followers college students I have only one question: How is that hope and change working for you now?
How is this legislation not a concealed redistribution of wealth instrument when you, college student, will be able to stay in your parents health insurance policy until age 26 (children my shoes!) but then, you will have to pay more for you college tuiton in order to pay for your neighbor's health coverage? And all from the goverment, you know... kind of like a one-stop shop.
Can your super-powered useful mind, please, explain me that?
Didn't think so.
Finally, yes, I am still wondering what on earth have health care reform anything to do with students loans.
