What's At Stake? Protect Cuban Activists Arrested in Latest Government Crackdown 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.

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.

Under Secretary for Political Affairs Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Releases Fact Sheets Fact Sheet Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Washington, DC July 19, 2005 U.S. Government Response to Hurricane Dennis in Cuba 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.

La Demanda: The People of Cuba vs. the U.S. Government by William Schaap CovertAction Quarterly, Fall / Winter 1999 In Cuba, it is known simply as la demanda-the legal complaint. On May 31, 1999, a lawsuit for $181 billion in wrongful death and personal injury damages was filed in Havana Provincial Civil Court against the government of the United States. The plaintiffs are eight national organizations, on behalf of their members, representing nearly the entire population of the island. The complaint describes, in considerable detail, forty years of U.S. acts of aggression against Cuba, and specifies, often by name, date, and particular circumstances, each person known to have been killed or grievously wounded as a direct victim of this campaign. In all, 3,478 people were killed and an additional 2,099 seriously injured. (These figures do not include any indirect victims of the economic pressures, the blockade, the difficulties in obtaining medicine and food, all due to deliberate U.S. policy) 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.

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.

2 demonstrations suppressed in Cuba Government backers scuffle with dissidents By Vanessa Bauzá Havana Bureau Sun-Sentinel Posted July 14 2005 HAVANA · Cuban government supporters quashed two small dissident demonstrations Wednesday in tense but nonviolent confrontations that led to several detentions. The first scuffle occurred about noon when 18 peaceful dissidents congregated at Havana's seawall to commemorate the deaths of 41 Cubans who were killed in 1994 when government patrol boats sprayed water hoses and rammed their stolen tugboat as they tried to flee the island. On Wednesday, dissidents chanting "Justice, liberty!" commemorated the 11th anniversary of the sinking of the tugboat by tossing white flowers into the sea and carrying posters with photos of the dead that proclaimed, "These are the victims of a cruel tyrant who claims to defend women and children." As the dissidents left the seaside, they were surrounded by a larger group of pro-government demonstrators shouting "Viva Fidel!" and calling the dissidents traitors and worms. At least two dissidents, Manuel Pérez Soria and Lázaro Alonso, were detained, The Associated Press reported. A few hours later, a similar scenario unfolded near Havana's Revolution Square when a group of more than 200 pro-government demonstrators assembled near a park where two dissidents had declared a hunger strike to protest their alleged eviction from a friend's home by government officials.

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.
