What's At Stake: Protect Cuban Activists Arrested In Latest Government Crackdown
Protect cuban Activists Arrested in Latest government Crackdown. On July 22,2005, cuban authorities arrested 33 dissidents preparing to attend a
http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/campaign/July_Crackdown/explanation

Extractions: The arrests represent the largest crackdown on political activists since March 2003, when 75 dissidents were rounded up and sentenced to up to 28 years in prison. Law 88 was applied for the first time against many of those detained and sentenced in 2003. The legislation places unlawful restrictions on internationally-recognized rights, including excessive limits on freedom of expression, association and assembly. Alarmingly, the Cuban authorities have reportedly communicated to the families of the three activists their intention to prosecute them under Special Law 88, or the "Law for the Protection of the National Independence and Economy of Cuba." Law 88 was passed in 1999, but was applied for the first time against many of the 75 dissidents arrested in March 2003. Portrayed as a direct response to anti-Cuba measures in the U.S., Law 88 establishes stiff penalties for those found guilty of vaguely defined "counterrevolutionary" or "subversive" activities. Sentences of up to 20 years can and have been meted out under Law 88 for actions that fall within internationally-recognized rights, such as freedom of speech, assembly and association. The string of arrests in July represents the largest crackdown on political activists since March 2003 , when the Cuban government sentenced some 75 activists to up to 28 years in prison. Although a few have since been released following international pressure, the vast majority remain in detention. Following the arrests this July, President Fidel Castro gave a virulent and widely-publicized speech in which he labeled opposition activists as "mercenaries" and "traitors," and warned that activists would be stopped if they continued to push established limits.

It has also defied predictions that it would not withstand the collapse of its main supporter, the Soviet Union. Since the fall of the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, Cuba has been a one-party state led by Mr Castro, who exercises control over virtually all aspects of Cuban life through the Communist Party and its affiliated mass organisations, the government bureaucracy and the state security apparatus. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA Exploiting the US-Soviet Cold War, Mr Castro was for decades able to rely on strong Soviet backing, including annual subsidies worth $4-5 billion, and succeed in building reputable health and education systems. But, at least partly because of the US trade sanctions, he failed to diversify the economy. The disappearance of Soviet aid following the collapse of the USSR forced the government to introduce tight rationing of energy, food and consumer goods.

Extractions: Keyword Title Author While Cuba's people welcomes news of loosening U.S. restrictions, the government remains skeptical In this story: HAVANA (CNN) News that the United States would loosen some of its restrictions on Cuba received a warm welcome on the streets of Havana but was greeted skeptically by Cuba's government. In a country where most people have friends or relatives living in the United States, the idea of more charter flights and quicker mail service was embraced enthusiastically. "We have a very hard time sending letters," said one man. "Sometimes it takes two months and they don't arrive. Or we have to pay someone to mail them, and even then they don't arrive." In addition to establishing direct mail service between the United States and Cuba, U.S. President Bill Clinton announced Tuesday the United States would allow more Americans to send money to Cubans, expand direct charter flights, allow the sale of food to nongovernmental organizations and possibly open the way for baseball games between a professional U.S. club and a Cuban team.

Extractions: July 19, 2005 On July 10, the U.S. Interests Section informed the Cuban Government that the U.S. we were prepared to provide immediate humanitarian assistance of emergency supplies, including blankets, water bottles, first aid kits, plastic sheeting, etc. to those Cubans affected by the hurricane. The Castro government rejected this offer. We also offered to deploy a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) to independently help determine what relief supplies were most needed. A DART is a rapid response management team composed of disaster relief specialists who conduct assessments, identify and prioritize needs, manage onsite relief activities, recommend response actions, and coordinate with affected country and other response organizations. The teams are typically deployed after devastating disasters of significant magnitude. The Castro government also rejected this offer.

The complaint was served upon the United States through the appropriate diplomatic channels: from the Court, to the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to the United States Department of State. As expected, the U.S. chose not to respond, and twenty days later was declared by the Court to be in default, in accordance with Cuban law.

Extractions: It's a former Soviet ally that toyed briefly with a little free enterprise. Its people are some of the poorest in the hemisphere. Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's choice as secretary of State, has just labeled it one of six "outposts of tyranny" in the world. That's Cuba, still clinging to its communist ways. And it has the economy to show for it. A bright spot - a new oil discovery - lifted hopes for the island nation last month. But don't count on a big change - unless there's a bigger find by Spain's largest oil company, Repsol, drilling in a separate offshore tract.

James Cason says he will not remove the display at the American interests section, which includes a reference to 75 dissidents jailed last year. Fourteen have been freed since the arrests took place in March 2003, in a major clampdown on political dissent. Cuba has twice told US diplomats to remove all decorations immediately. It describes those it jailed as "mercenaries in the pay of the United States". We're prepared to pay whatever price for the things we believe in James Cason The display at the US interests section - so-called because the United States and Cuba do not have diplomatic relations - includes a huge white Santa Claus, an image of galloping reindeer and a flashing sign wishing Cubans a Happy Christmas. A large figure 75, is picked out in neon, inside a large circle.
