Cuba still represses the Freedom of speech of it’s inhabitants!

By Admin, December 27, 2009

Many of us started to believe that Cuba had become a more liberated country, and that the people were not held so tightly. There is something that has happened in Cuba that the Government may live to regret for quite a while.

Monday proved to be a particularly bad day when the Government beat up a Blogger for speaking to the world about Cuba across the Internet, freedom of Speech is practically non existent here! A Blogger called Yoani, whom is a very influential Blogger in the Internet was beaten quite badly earlier this week. She and some friends were walking down a road to a demonstration, where they were beaten.

The Cuban government has only recently opened its arms to tourists and has not always accepted visitors. Now that Tourism is one of Cuba’s biggest money spinners, incidents like these can’t go unwatched, and especially with someone influential on the Internet.

Although Cuba has been known for keeping a tight hold on freedom of speech, it was thought that things had calmed down and that people had a little more leeway. However if you want to stop a Blogger from telling the world about the harsh environment in Cuba, it is probably not the best of ideas to attack her. Not to mention that she can spread her message to the entire world after it has happened.

Holidays have been smacked by the current economic climate in the recent couple of years, but now they are returning on the increase, Cuba has to get these holidays or lose profits and investment, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or maybe Maldives holidays, or some other Caribbean holidays sound like a better idea this year. Recently I embarked on Sri Lanka holidays, and thats not really a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the moment.
